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

introductionRespectful maternity care (RMC) ensures that every childbearing woman is treated with dignity, safety, and respect. Health care professionals play a critical role in RMC but can also contribute to disrespectful and abusive practices, inflicting lasting trauma. Educating pre-service health care learners is one promising strategy for change. As part of our larger Mothering and Albinism research project, we sought timely evidence to develop educational resources supporting RMC for people impacted by albinism.

methodsOur international team conducted a rapid scoping review to answer the question, "What curriculum resources are available for integrating RMC into the education of nursing, midwifery, medical, and other health care students, and what are their key pedagogical components and contextual factors shaping implementation?" We searched key databases and online sources for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies of RMC education initiatives and curriculum resources relevant to teaching RMC to pre-service learners. Two reviewers screened abstracts/full texts, and data were charted and synthesized using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Our diverse author network was consulted to ensure rigor and relevance for a range of populations.

resultsOur analysis of 25 research reports and 8 curriculum resources produced 5 synthesized categories. The first 4 categories illuminate how RMC education initiatives are conceptualized, their core content, effective pedagogical strategies, and how researchers studied the impact of RMC education. The fifth category addresses contextual influences and the need for taking a systems perspective within RMC education initiatives. Significant gaps remain with few initiatives addressing the unique needs of structurally disadvantaged groups or including trauma-informed, violence-informed, or equity-oriented approaches. DISCUSSION: RMC education has potential, but it must be paired with systemic change and attention to equity for meaningful change. These findings lay the groundwork for developing context-specific, effective educational resources to support RMC for all women, including those impacted by albinism.
