Does female education explain the disparity in the use of antenatal and natal services in Nigeria? Evidence from demographic and health survey data.
Article in African health sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundNigeria is among the countries with a high number of annual maternal deaths partly due to low utilization of maternal health services (MHS).
objectiveThis study aimed to explore whether there is an association between women's level of education and the appropriate use of antenatal and delivery services.
methodA quantitative cross-sectional study was used to analyze the Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) data. Information from 33,385 women aged 15 - 49 years was analyzed using Bivariate Pearson Chi square test and multiple logistic regressions.
resultsEducation is statistically associated with the number of antenatal clinic visits made (AOR = 3.208; CI 2.875 - 3.578; p < .0001) and the place of delivery (AOR = 2.009; CI 1.449 - 2.785; p < .0001) even after controlling for availability of skilled health workers, parity, income, religion, age and distance.
conclusionA long term investment in girls' education will improve income, interaction with health care providers, level of autonomy to seek and pay for appropriate MHS and ultimately use of MHS and positive pregnancy outcomes.
