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

British immigration policies are intended to create a "hostile environment" for "undesirable" migrants within the UK and a deterrence to anyone beyond its borders. The seeping of these policies into everyday life, including healthcare provision, for all migrants has been well documented. This article draws on ethnographic research with migrant women who have precarious immigration statuses in Glasgow, which explored interwoven experiences of maternal health, migration and motherhood. Building on this research, the authors co-developed "Nurture Together", a participatory project with migrant women and Amma Birth Companions, which created trauma-informed and culturally safe peer support resources for infant feeding. Drawing on both projects, this paper highlights how the hostile environment and the subsequent isolation, discrimination, and fear of unfamiliar social and medical environments can compound the trauma experienced by many women during and after migration to the UK. We emphasise the importance of communities of care for mothers who are not surrounded by their usual perinatal support networks.
