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
backgroundOne of the leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity is unsafe abortion. Globally 55.7million of abortions occurred each year between 2010 and 2014. In lower resource countries 24.3 million abortions were unsafe which is significantly higher. Nepal is one of the lower resource countries among others. Comprehensive abortion care (CAC) service can reduce this burden among women.
methodsA retrospective review of CAC service register at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) was conducted to collect data from 2006 to2015 with approval from the Nursing Department to identify the trends of CAC service delivery, client characteristics, category of service providers, and reason for seeking CAC services, its effectiveness and complications. The data was entered in SPSS software and descriptive analysis was performed.
resultsA total of 2367 women received CAC in ten years period showing similar trend as 272-275 cases per year. Women's mean age was 28.4 years, 34% attained secondary level education and 98.9% were married. 70% were house wives and 84% multi gravid. The gestational period varied from 5 to 12 weeks. 85.6% had Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) and 14.4% had Medical Abortion (MA). Only 37.6% women used any method of post abortion contraception. Unwanted pregnancy was the commonest reason for CAC. A majority of service providers were doctors (62.4%). The nurses were equally competent to provide CAC service as doctors.
conclusionsThe number of women receiving CAC was relatively constant over the ten-year period. Nurses should be promoted for providing CAC services to cover a larger population in need.
