Health education needs of pregnant women regarding newborn inborn errors of metabolism based on a social ecological model: a qualitative study.

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: This study explored pregnant women's perceptions, experiences, and health education needs regarding newborn inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) and newborn screening, and examined how these needs operate across individual, interpersonal/healthcare-organizational, and community/policy-environment levels. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological qualitative design was used. Fifteen pregnant women (N1-N15) were purposively recruited from one national regional medical center between October 2025 and January 2026 for one-to-one, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews lasting 30-45 min. Two trained researchers conducted the interviews. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and managed in Results: Three overarching analytic levels and 16 subthemes were identified. Individual-level needs concerned conceptual boundaries, screening value, personalized risk information, graded management of abnormal results, uncertainty-related psychological support, and probability communication. Interpersonal and healthcare-organization needs concerned time-linked flowcharts, result notification, operational checklists, repeat-testing/referral navigation, and family communication with privacy protection. Community and policy-environment needs concerned post-diagnosis support, affordability and assistance, authoritative information access, staged reminders, and understandable multimodal delivery. Participants' accounts showed that their needs extended beyond knowledge acquisition to actionable, time-sensitive pathways linking antenatal education with postnatal screening and follow-up. Conclusions: Pregnant women's health education needs regarding newborn IEM are multi-level, time-sensitive, and action oriented. Interventions should combine plain-language risk communication and coping support at the individual level, family-inclusive communication and closed-loop service processes at the interpersonal/organizational level, and authoritative information, financial navigation, and accessible multimodal support at the community/policy level.
