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
introductionObstetric complications continue to be the major causes of maternal mortality in low- and middle-income countries. Knowledge of women toward obstetric danger signs is an important part of improving maternal and fetal outcomes. However, the reported level of knowledge on obstetric danger signs is low and inconsistent.
methodsCommunity-based cross-sectional study design was used. Data were collected from randomly selected 740 pregnant women. A pregnant woman said to have good knowledge of obstetric danger signs if she spontaneously mentioned at least two of the danger signs during each of the three periods (pregnancy, labor/childbirth, and postpartum) and otherwise said to have poor knowledge of obstetric danger signs. Adjusted odds ratio at 95% confidence interval and a value of p < 0.05 were used to identify the predictors.
resultsA total of 740 pregnant women participated in the study with the response rate of 97.5%. One hundred twenty-four (16.8%) of the respondents were knowledgeable about obstetric danger signs. According to our study, age range of 20-24 years (adjusted odds ratio = 6, confidence interval: 2.67-17.44) and 25-29 years old (adjusted odds ratio = 2.4, confidence interval: 1.14-5.10); being housewife (adjusted odds ratio = 0.5, confidence interval: 0.28-0.87); monthly income of ⩽1000ETB (adjusted odds ratio = 0.24, confidence interval: 0.12-0.46) and 1001-2500ETB (adjusted odds ratio = 0.24, confidence interval: 0.12-0.47); and primigravida (adjusted odds ratio = 0.09, confidence interval: 0.04-0.18) and primipara (adjusted odds ratio = 0.15, confidence interval: 0.07-0.30) were factors significantly associated with knowledge of obstetric danger signs.
conclusionKnowledge of obstetric danger signs among pregnant women was low. Maternal age, average monthly income, maternal occupation, parity, and gravidity were factors significantly associated with the knowledge of obstetric danger signs.
