1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study was aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with second hand smoking (SHS) and tobacco use among pregnant women in Yatinuwara Medical Officer of Health area in Kandy district, Sri Lanka. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study using 390 pregnant women. Data were collected through a pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire. Fifty-four-point four percent were exposed to the SHS. Prevalence of smoking during pregnancy was 0.5% and eight women used smokeless tobacco (SLT). SHS was significantly associated with the age of the mother and family income. Women's age, monthly income, husband's education, husband's occupation, women's age at marriage and trimester of pregnancy were significantly associated with tobacco use. In conclusions, prevalence of SHS was high but tobacco use was low in pregnant women. An effective training program should be designed to educate pregnant women as well as their husbands on adverse effects of tobacco use and SHS during pregnancy.
