Prevalence of Eight or More Antenatal Care Contacts: Findings From Multi-Country Nationally Representative Data.
Article in Global pediatric health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Optimal antenatal care is an important service required by women and babies. To promote healthy motherhood and for positive pregnancy outcomes, World Health Organization recently recommended a minimum of 8 ANC contacts. We aim to explore the prevalence of 8 or more ANC contacts using multi-country data. Urban dwellers, mothers with secondary or higher education, women from high household wealth, early birth order, and older mothers at childbirth had higher prevalence of 8 or more ANC contacts respectively. The pooled prevalence of 8 or more ANC contacts was 13.0%. Jordan had the leading prevalence of 8 or more ANC contacts (74.0%), followed by Ghana (43.0%) and Albania (30.0%). On the other hand, Senegal, Uganda, and Zambia had very low prevalence of 8 or more ANC contacts. There was heterogeneity in the prevalence of 8 or more ANC contacts across countries. There was low prevalence of 8 or more ANC contacts.
