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.

Being government employee (AOR = 3.73, 95%CI (2.169, 6.419)), had ever heard about PMTCT of HIV (AOR = 2.46, 95%CI (1.20, 5.02)), discussed with their partner (AOR = 3.11, 95%CI (1.43, 6.55)), partners' who were informed the need to go PMTCT of HIV clinic (AOR = 2.45, 95%CI (1.17, 5.14)), Health workers friendly approach (AOR = 2.36, 95%CI (1.34, 4.15)), and long waiting time (AOR = 0.36, 95%CI (0.216, 0.610)) were found to be significantly associated with male involvement in PMTCT of HIV.
