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
backgroundClient satisfaction is an important outcome of healthcare services and is regarded as an indicator for quality of care. Not much research has been conducted to investigate satisfaction with maternal health care in Sub-Saharan Africa and especially no or little in South Sudan. This study was carried out to assess quality of maternal health services (MHS) at Juba Teaching Hospital, South Sudan.
methodsThis cross-sectional research study was done among women of reproductive age at a time of taking their infants for routine immunization services in June to July 2015. A structured questionnaire was used to gather information by interviewers. The data were analysed using SPSS Statistics v20. The frequency tables were for describing data and chi-square test and logistic regression were used to determine whether there was statistical association of sociodemographic factors with satisfaction with MHS.
resultsOf 207 women, 193 (93.0%) were satisfied with the services. There was statistically significant association of family monthly income with antenatal careand delivery care satisfaction [OR at 95%CI = 8.30 (2.04 - 33.79), p-value=0.003 and OR at 95%CI = 0.12 (0.03 - 0.56), p-value = 0.007 respectively]. Furthermore, there was a significant association of education attainment with place of delivery [OR at 95%CI =3.06 (1.40 - 6.71), p-value = 0.005].
conclusionWomen were satisfied with maternal healthcare services. Level of education and monthly family earnings were associated with maternity care. Hence, there should be emphasis on the education of women and their earnings.
