1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDeciding what foods to consume during pregnancy can be overwhelming. Accurate and culturally appropriate nutrition resources are particularly important for migrant women navigating different cultural influences. Research with African migrant women has highlighted the need for tailored pregnancy nutrition resources, yet this need remains unmet. Providing African migrant women with appropriate resources can support informed food choices and contribute to improved maternal and foetal health outcomes. This study explored the views and opinions of African migrant women and healthcare professionals (HCPs) in Australia on the development of a culturally appropriate pregnancy nutrition resource.

methodsThe authors drew on previously prioritised needs for culturally tailored pregnancy nutrition resources as a starting point for co-design workshops. Four workshops were conducted via Zoom with seven African migrant women and five HCPs. Participants included women and HCPs from an earlier study as well as new participants recruited through convenience sampling. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, combining deductive and inductive approaches.

resultsThree themes captured the preferred formats and features of a tailored pregnancy nutrition resource. Among the suggested formats, the top four preferred were a mobile application, website, pamphlet, and food guide. Key features included incorporating African foods, identifying suitable alternatives available in Australia, providing information on common cultural food restrictions, and listing where African and substitute foods could be purchased. Across all formats, participants emphasised the importance of concise, visually engaging resources.

conclusionsCo-designed, culturally tailored nutrition resources can support women's nutritional needs, foster culturally sensitive care, and improve maternal and foetal health outcomes. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: African migrant women and HCPs contributed to co-design workshops, guiding the development of culturally tailored pregnancy nutrition resources.
