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
introductionTobacco use is recognized as the most important preventable risk factor for pregnancy complications and undesirable fetal outcomes. This study examined the reported prevalence of tobacco use among married men and women residing in rural areas, and their knowledge on the risks of tobacco use during pregnancy and the factors associated with tobacco use.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted within 32 villages in the delta region of Myanmar, randomly selected through multistage sampling procedure by using a pre-tested structured questionnaire during 2016. In all, 617 people participated in the household survey.
resultsAbout 80% of current smokers (109/128) smoked at home, of whom 16% reported the presence of a pregnant woman in their smoking area. Less than 25% of the respondents were aware of the negative impacts of tobacco use on pregnancy outcomes. Men had significantly lower perceived risk towards smoking on some pregnancy outcomes. Multivariate analysis confirmed the significant influence of male gender (adjusted OR, AOR=12.62; 95% CI: 6.30-25.29) and the age of women <35 years (AOR=3.51; 95% CI: 1.97-6.26) on current tobacco use, when controlling for other variables.
conclusionsMen in the study villages and those with a low level of education had poor knowledge on the risks of tobacco on pregnancy outcomes. However, good knowledge and perceived risk of undesirable impacts on pregnancy did not have any influence on tobacco use.
