Pregnancy management for incarcerated individuals with substance use disorder: Insights from North Carolina jails.
Article in Women's health (London, England). 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
backgroundPregnancy and substance use disorders (SUD) for incarcerated individuals often overlap, but their management varies greatly between jails. A better understanding of pregnancy management across jails is needed to better guide policy and practice recommendations.
objectivesTo examine the current state of pregnancy management across North Carolina jails, including current practices, challenges, and gaps in pregnancy management in jails.
designThis is a qualitative analysis within a mixed-methods study assessing the scope of perinatal incarceration and the capacity of North Carolina jails to manage perinatal SUD.
methodsWe conducted in-depth interviews with North Carolina jail staff using a semi-structured interview guide between October 2022 and September 2023. We used the ideal-type analysis approach to systematically compare pregnancy management and SUD management practices across facilities.
resultsWe completed 26 interviews with jail staff. Pregnancy management approaches were unevenly distributed across three ideal types: (1) exclusive use of internal prenatal care resources (
conclusionThe heavy reliance on external resources for prenatal and SUD care highlights the chronic underfunding and staffing challenges faced by these facilities. There is an urgent need for standardized policies governing prenatal care in jail facilities to help reduce disparities in care quality and ensure that all pregnant individuals receive adequate support, regardless of the jail's resources. Alternatives to incarceration during pregnancy should be prioritized.
