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

Background: Effective collaborative practice among health care professionals is crucial for addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy. Therefore, the development and evaluation of an evidence-based intervention for health care professionals is required to work toward meeting the key priorities of the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children 2022-2032. The consistency, modality, and effectiveness of IPV-focused education vary, and some midwives lack the confidence to respond effectively to disclosures, often due to limited knowledge, education, and skills. This issue is further amplified in interdisciplinary settings, where a lack of cohesiveness and collaboration can negatively impact the experience for pregnant women seeking or needing support. Objective: The objective of this study is to design, implement, and evaluate an evidence-informed, simulation-based, interprofessional education intervention to improve health care professionals' collaborative response to IPV disclosures during the perinatal period in the South Australian maternity health care sector. Methods: This study adopts an exploratory mixed methods research design with 3 key phases. Phase 1 explores the experiences of women with lived experience of IPV in pregnancy (a minimum of 9 participants), and health care professionals providing perinatal care (4-8 participants in approximately 4-8 focus group offerings). The data will inform the development of the educational program. Phase 3 focuses on the evaluation of the intervention to determine the perceived impact. There will be several offerings of the workshops to capture a minimum of 42 health professional participants. Results: Qualitative data will be collected first from interviews with women with lived experience of IPV in the perinatal period and focus groups with health professionals who have provided care across that context. Phase 3 comprises quantitative survey data through a single-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design to determine the perceived impact of the workshop. Conclusions: This study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of educational interventions designed to enhance collaboration within interdisciplinary teams in the context of IPV.
