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
backgroundInfant antiretroviral prophylaxis has an important role in reduction of Human immune virus transmission from mother to child during the postpartum period. Male partner involvement was considered as a priority aforementioned area needs to be enhanced in Prevention of Mother-To Child Transmission (PMTCT). PMTCT service utilization can minimize the risk of the transmission of HIV from mother to child and related mortalities. Adequate utilization and adherence to this service has been challenging for some of the women if their partners are not aware or do partners do not support the women. The aim of this study is to assess the magnitude and determinants of male involvement in PMTCT service in Ethiopia. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We had conducted an extensive search of literature as indicated in the guideline of reporting systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA). We had used PubMed, Google Scholar, and cross reference for searching articles. We had used the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument for critical appraisal of studies. Met-analysis and meta-regression were computed to present the pooled prevalence and determinants of male partner involvement with a 95% confidence interval using Revman.
resultsAmong a total of 338 studies, 11 studies were included in this analysis. The estimated pooled magnitude of male partner involvement was 40% (95% CI: 29.11-50.69). Knowledge of husband on PMTCT (2.30, 95% CI 1.75, 3.02), perceived responsibility for the women (4.22, 95% CI 2.31, 7.71), being government employee (2.89, 95% CI 2.02, 4.12), cultural barriers (3.44, 95% CI 2.54, 4.65) and educational status of husband (2.4, 95% CI 1.79, 3.50) were the determinants of pooled estimates of male partner involvement in PMTCT activities.
conclusionThe pooled prevalence of male partner involvement was lower than the study conducted in sub Saharan Africa. Knowledge of husband on PMTCT, perceived responsibility for women, occupational status, cultural barriers and educational status of husband were determinants of male partner involvement. Therefore, the existing strategies to improve male involvement should be strengthened.
