1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

State Perinatal Quality Collaboratives (PQCs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Armed Forces. All PQCs work to reduce preventable maternal morbidity and mortality through statewide implementation of evidence-based practices. PQCs have been successful in improving outcomes through key strategies, including strong hospital engagement; use of quality-improvement (QI) methodology such as rapid-cycle data review, collaborative learning, and supplemental technical assistance; and strategic partnerships. Here we provide examples of ways four state PQCs have implemented these strategies and their successes. Many PQCs focus on improving in-hospital care with initiatives related to hemorrhage, hypertension, or promoting vaginal birth or other hospital-based care improvements. Given the contribution of mental health, substance use disorder, cardiovascular conditions, and social drivers to postpartum pregnancy-related deaths, PQCs are expanding their scope to include the ambulatory and nonobstetric care settings and more community partners.
