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

Substantial yet preventable maternal and neonatal mortality persists across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where shortages of skilled maternal and child health (MCH) nurses, inadequate infrastructure and socioeconomic inequalities continue to limit access to quality care. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine-learning-driven decision-support and predictive systems, is increasingly proposed to strengthen MCH services through risk stratification, early diagnosis and clinical decision-making. However, evidence supporting its equitable, contextually appropriate and sustainable implementation in resource-constrained settings remains limited. Existing literature has inadequately addressed the structural, ethical and relational dimensions of AI adoption from a nursing perspective, and there is a lack of frameworks integrating equity, nurse-led governance and contextual adaptation for LMICs. Drawing on a purposive narrative review, this Perspective proposes an equity-centred, nurse-led framework for AI-assisted MCH nursing in low-resource settings. The framework comprises six interdependent domains: contextual algorithm validation, humanised and relational nursing care, community co-design and engagement, digital equity and inclusion, transparent data governance, and longitudinal monitoring and evaluation. Its novelty lies in positioning equity as a prerequisite for deployment, identifying the nurse-patient relationship as the principal mechanism through which AI influences outcomes, and assigning governance authority to nurses and communities. A phased implementation pathway is proposed to guide responsible deployment. The framework remains conceptual and requires prospective empirical validation. Responsible AI integration in MCH nursing demands equity-centred governance, investment in nursing capacity, community participation and locally grounded validation strategies.
