Prenatal Care and Pregnancy-Related Accommodations in Indiana County Jails: An Analysis of Inmate Handbooks.
Article in AJPM focus, 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
Introduction: Most women incarcerated in the U.S. are of reproductive age (ages 18-44 years), and approximately 3% of women incarcerated in jails are pregnant. However, prenatal care and pregnancy-related accommodations are not standardized across U.S. jails. This study characterized prenatal care and pregnancy-related accommodations described in Indiana County jail inmate handbooks. Methods: A modified legal mapping approach was used to collect and analyze Indiana county jail handbooks. Handbooks were obtained from 56 (60.9%) of the 92 Indiana jails. Results: Prenatal care or pregnancy-related accommodations were described in 11 handbooks (19.6%). Pregnancy testing was the most commonly available prenatal care service ( Discussion: Prenatal care and pregnancy-related accommodation information in Indiana jail handbooks is scarce. When such information was available, it was neither detailed nor comprehensive. Handbooks serve as a key source of policy information that incarcerated individuals rely on to advocate for their needs and to access available resources. Given the importance of adequate prenatal care, proper nutrition, and maternal psychological support, jails should ensure that information about prenatal care and pregnancy-related accommodation is explicitly outlined in their handbooks.
