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

objectiveTo assess levels of awareness and use of obstetric ultrasonography in rural Nepal.

methodsBetween March 2014 and March 2015, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among married women aged 15-40years residing in rural Sarlahi District, Nepal, regarding their knowledge and use of obstetric ultrasonography during their most recent pregnancy. Regression analyses were conducted to identify reproductive health, socioeconomic, and other characteristics that increased the likelihood of undergoing an obstetric ultrasonographic examination.

resultsAmong 6182 women, 1630 (26.4%) had undergone obstetric ultrasonography during their most recent pregnancy, of whom 1011 (62.0%) received only one examination. Odds of receiving an ultrasonographic examination were higher among women with post-secondary education than among those with none (≥11years' education: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 10.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.55-19.04), and among women whose husbands had post-secondary education than among those with husbands with none (≥11years' education: aOR 1.99, 95% CI 1.47-2.69). Odds were lower among women younger than 18years than among those aged 18-34years (aOR 0.72, 95% confidence interval 0.59-0.90).

conclusionUtilization of obstetric ultrasonography in rural Nepal was very limited. Further research is necessary to assess the potential health impact of obstetric ultrasonography in low-resource settings, while addressing limitations such as cost and misuse.
