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
backgroundAntenatal care coverage is very low in low-and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia. Self-reported pregnant women's satisfaction may be important in identifying the demographic, provider-, and facility-related factors that can be improved to increase antenatal care satisfaction. However, there is a paucity of data on pregnant women's satisfaction in Ethiopia, particularly in the study setting. Therefore, this study aimed to assess antenatal care service satisfaction and associated factors among pregnant women at public health facilities in the Harari region of eastern Ethiopia.
methodsA health institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among women who were attending antenatal care clinics in February 2017. All 531 pregnant women were selected using a systematic random sampling method. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire, entered into EpiData version 3.1, and analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 software. A logistic regression model was applied to control for confounders. The level of significance was determined at a p-value of less than 0.05.
resultsThe magnitude of pregnant women's satisfaction with antenatal care services was 70.3% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 66.4%-74.3%). Receiving antenatal care services from the hospital (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.50-3.98), did not attend formal education (AOR = 2.53, 95% CI = 1.52-4.20) and attended primary education (AOR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.17-4.04), having a repeated visit to antenatal care (AOR = 4.62, 95% CI = 2.98-7.17), initiating antenatal care services within the first trimester (AOR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.12-2.71), having no history of stillbirth (AOR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.37-4.65), and waiting for no more than 30 min in the health facility to get service (AOR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.28-4.16) were factors associated with pregnant women's satisfaction with antenatal care services.
conclusionMore than two-thirds of pregnant women were satisfied with the antenatal care service. The type of health facility, education status, number and initiation time of antenatal visit, history of stillbirth, and waiting time to get service were factors associated with pregnant women's satisfaction with antenatal care services.
