Community-Led Solutions to Address Black Maternal and Infant Mortality Through the TNT-PISP Model: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2026. 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
objectivesIn both the U.S. and Wisconsin, Black women and infants experience significantly higher rates of morbidity and mortality than their white counterparts. Our research team set out to explore how a community-based and culturally informed perinatal support model could address the needs of Black mothers and their families.
methodsWe developed and implemented the Today Not Tomorrow Pregnancy and Infant Support Program (TNT-PISP), a community-based, culturally informed perinatal support model integrated with traditional obstetrical care. From October 2019 to August 2022, we held monthly support group sessions facilitated by Black community-based doulas, Black physicians, and community partners. Twenty-five participants engaged in topic-focused and freeform sessions to discuss mental health, breastfeeding, peripartum care, and medical racism. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus groups and analyzed using the Daughtering Method and reflexive thematic analysis.
resultsParticipants emphasized the importance of shared Black identity and culture in fostering connection and trust. The group's open, judgment-free environment allowed for meaningful conversations and emotional support. Participants valued the exchange of parenting knowledge and community resources. The program's flexible structure and child-friendly setting were key strengths, enabling consistent participation despite busy schedules. CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: This study highlights the potential of community-based, culturally informed perinatal support programs to promote health equity for Black women and infants. Future research should explore such programs' long-term impacts and scalability in diverse settings. Continued efforts to integrate culturally relevant care models into traditional healthcare systems may help promote health inequities in Black communities.
