Experience of Pregnancy Loss Among Maternal Nurses and Midwives: A Phenomenological Study.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. 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
aimThis study explored the lived experience of pregnancy loss among maternal nurses and midwives in Jordan, with attention to how loss shaped work, grief, and decisions about future pregnancy within the Jordanian cultural and religious context.
designDescriptive phenomenological qualitative study.
methodsTwenty maternal nurses and midwives who had experienced pregnancy loss participated in individual semi-structured interviews conducted in private locations selected by participants. Snowball sampling was used. Interviews lasted 45-60 min, were audio-recorded with participants' consent, transcribed, and coded manually by the research team using Colaizzi's seven-step descriptive phenomenological method. Two researchers coded the data independently before discussing and agreeing on themes.
resultsParticipants were 26-55 years old, 17 of 20 had more than 10 years of nursing experience, 17 of 20 worked in health centers, and 18 of 20 had children. Four interpretive themes were developed: loss without warning; embodied loss: inseparable physical and psychological suffering; grieving while caregiving: negotiating work, disclosure, and peer support; and trying again with fear.
conclusionPregnancy loss among maternal nurses and midwives in Jordan produced physical, emotional, occupational, and culturally situated consequences. The study contributes evidence that clinicians who provide maternity care may return to the same clinical spaces that mirror their loss, making workplace flexibility, trusted peer support, and culturally sensitive acknowledgment of grief especially important. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
