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
backgroundThe proportion of families identified as experiencing psychosocial difficulties in maternity clinics has increased. Therefore, evidence-based development of the healthcare system is urgently needed. This study aims to investigate whether family navigators in maternity clinics can contribute to improving patient management, specifically by referring families in need of support from the clinic to appropriate psychosocial and medical services.
methodsBetween May 16 and August 31, 2024, a nationwide survey of all maternity clinics with more than 300 births per year was conducted. The response rate was 48% (256 clinics). The sample is representative nationwide.
resultsIn 2024, family navigators were place at 67% of maternity clinics in Germany. Clinics with family navigators reported significantly more often that they systematically assess the support needs of (expectant) mothers and families than clinics without such services. Facilities with family navigators more frequently refer families experiencing stress to further psychosocial services (services tailored to a specific, identified need for support). DISCUSSION: Psychosocial difficulties experienced by families can be identified and explored in maternity clinics. Family navigators in maternity clinics can optimize care for families and thus fulfill specific aspects of patient management for (expectant) mothers.
