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
backgroundThe data on the prevalence of recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) in India are scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RSM in Indian females.
methodsFemale patients aged between 18 and 45 years with history of at least one spontaneous miscarriage were enrolled in the study. The probability of a subsequent miscarriage after the first, second, and third miscarriage was determined. The prevalence of RSM (defined as loss of ≥3 pregnancies of ≤20 weeks gestation each) between different age groups was compared using χ (2) test. Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to determine any association between RSM and the presence of risk factors.
resultsOf the 2398 patients screened for eligibility, 767 (32 %) had a history of at least one spontaneous miscarriage. The prevalence of RSM among the 753 enrolled patients who satisfied the eligibility criteria in the study was 7.46 %. RSM was mostly recorded in the age group of ≥33 years (14.68 %, n = 32). In patients with RSM, the second and third miscarriages were more prevalent during 7th week to end of 11th week of gestation. The probability of having a subsequent miscarriage after the first, second, and third miscarriage was 0.25, 0.34, and 0.22, respectively. There was a significant association (p < 0.05) between RSM and clotting disorders, immunological factors, infections, and genetic disorders.
conclusionThe study revealed a higher prevalence of RSM among the Indian women as compared to western data. Age, clotting disorders, immunological factors, infections, and genetic disorders were the significant risk factors associated with RSM.
