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
objectivePrenatal care (PNC) and well child visit (WCV) attendance are associated with improved health outcomes. We aimed to determine if the factors affecting maternal and child attendance are similar or different.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective case control study at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System. We used the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations to assess the adequacy of PNC and WCV attendance, respectively. Mothers with less than 50% visit adherence or initiation after 5 months gestation were eligible as cases and those with 80% or more adherence and initiation before 5 months were eligible as controls. Children in the lowest quintile of adherence were eligible as cases and those with 80% or more adherence were eligible as controls. Cases and controls were randomly selected at a 1:2 ratio from the eligible subjects and frequency matched on birth month.
resultsIn adjusted analyses, mothers and children who were publicly insured or who were uninsured had higher odds of poor preventive visit attendance. Mothers who experienced intimate partner violence and had more living children were more likely to have poor attendance. Children whose mothers had younger age, greater number of pregnancies and transportation difficulties had poorer attendance.
conclusionsWhile lack of insurance and public insurance remained significantly associated with both poor PNC and WCV attendance, other factors varied between groups. Expanding eligibility requirements and streamlining enrollment and renewal processes may improve two generations of preventive visit attendance.
