Reimagining Perinatal Care in Alabama Through Innovative Partnerships.
Article in Journal of midwifery & women's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Childbearing families in the United States, especially in rural communities, face inconsistent access to high-quality maternity care, with many experiencing sparse and fragmented services. In response to long-standing disparities in Alabama, we created the Women and Children Health Initiative (WACHI), a coordinated hub that advances midwifery workforce growth, expands practice partnerships, and catalyzes policy change to support collaborative, risk-appropriate care. Central to WACHI is integrating certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) within systems that have historically imposed practice barriers. Grounded in the belief that Alabama can do better, WACHI convenes academic fields, health systems, public health sectors, and community partners to codesign and implement evidence-informed interventions. Program pillars include (1) reopening and expanding the state's nurse-midwifery education pathway, (2) embedding Nurse-Family Partnership home visiting with integrated behavioral health, (3) launching the Moms and Kids Mobile Health Clinic to reach underserved rural areas, and (4) building durable CNM-physician collaborations and standardized protocols for team-based care. These coordinated strategies align workforce development, health care delivery, and policy to increase first-trimester prenatal entry, improve postpartum follow-up, and reduce preventable complications. Early results include growth in the CNM workforce, new rural practice partnerships, and health-system engagement with respectful, team-based models that prioritize patient preferences and cultural safety. In this article we describe the WACHI model and early outcomes to inform adaptation and support replication by diverse regional coalitions and systems nationwide.
