Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response: An Evaluation of Practices Among Healthcare Workers in South-South, Nigeria.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Background: Despite the formal launch of Nigeria's Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) national guideline in 2016, limited data exist on actual practice among healthcare workers. This study assessed MPDSR practice and its determinants among healthcare workers in three referral hospitals in Edo State, Nigeria. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 221 healthcare workers in Central Hospital, Benin, University of Benin Teaching Hospital, and Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital. MPDSR practice was assessed using three indicators: having received MPDSR training, having ever reported maternal death, and having attended maternal death reviews. Respondents who engaged in at least two of these three practices were classified as having good practice. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25, with the chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Only 50 (22.6%) healthcare workers demonstrated good practice of MPDSR, while 171 (77.4%) had poor practice. Training coverage was critically low (8.6%), one-third (33.9%) had ever reported a maternal death, and 48.9% had attended maternal death reviews; of these, 91.7% were passive attendees only. Multivariate analysis identified older age, good knowledge, and positive attitude toward MPDSR as independent predictors of good practice, while female sex was independently associated with lower odds of good practice (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: Poor MPDSR practice prevails in the selected hospitals, with critical deficits in training coverage, death reporting, and meaningful review participation. Improving practice requires scaled-up training, strengthened reporting systems, and targeted strategies addressing knowledge, attitudinal, and gender-related barriers.
