"You First Break the News to the Relative": Stillbirth Bereavement Care Practices in Nigeria.
Article in Journal of transcultural nursing : official journal of the Transcultural Nursing Society, 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
introductionNigeria has one of the highest rates of stillbirth in the world. Existing research about the state of bereavement care continues to paint a bleak picture. This study explores the stillbirth bereavement care practices of Nigerian midwives.
methodPurposive sampling was employed to recruit a sufficient sample of 11 Nigerian midwives, who were subsequently interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analyzed using the template analysis technique, which involved the use of a coding template to organize themes.
resultsTwo main themes were identified: "Family-first, woman later" describes the practice of communicating stillbirth diagnoses to families before informing the woman; "Beliefs-driven care" describes the role of cultural values in facilitating some aspects of care, such as holistic care, while hindering other aspects such as memory-making. DISCUSSION: Cultural beliefs influence stillbirth bereavement care practices. Clear clinical guidelines are needed to support midwives in managing cultural issues associated with stillbirth bereavement.
