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

aimThis study aimed to explore the experiences of midwives providing care in primary care walk-in clinics (PCWCs) within refugee camps, examining the challenges they encounter, and the relevance the ORAMMA framework.

backgroundRefugee camps present a complex environment for maternal care provision, due to limited resources, high population mobility, cultural and linguistic diversity, and increased psychosocial vulnerability among women. Midwives often being the primary providers of maternal care, must address both social and clinical needs. The ORAMMA framework was developed to support culturally sensitive and equitable maternity care for migrant and refugee populations. However, limited evidence exists regarding field experiences of ORAMMA-guided midwifery practice.

methodsA qualitative study design was employed to capture midwives' in-depth experiences. Data were collected from 22 ORAMMA-trained registered midwives working in refugee camp PCWCs. Data were collected using semi-structured individual interviews (

findingsMidwives reported persistent challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, shortages of essential medical supplies and disrupted care continuity. Language and cultural barriers limited effective communication, trust-building, and clinical decision-making. Despite these constraints, midwives demonstrated adaptability and professional resilience, through collaborative teamwork, creative problem-solving, and culturally sensitive care. ORAMMA training strengthened their confidence and awareness in providing care, although participants emphasised the need for enhanced material resources, interpreter services, and psychosocial support. Overall, findings highlight the value of ORAMMA-guided capacity-building to support midwives' resilience and commitment to quality care delivery.
