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
backgroundPregnancy is a time when women are making many changes, including the patterns of alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy encourages the risks of mothers and unborn child. Alcohol use during pregnancy can result in prematurity, brain damage, growth restriction, developmental delay and social, emotional and behavioral deficits, particularly in developing countries.
methodsA community based cross-sectional study was employed. Structured questionnaires were used to assess the prevalence of alcohol utilization, and socio-demographic as well as economic characteristics of women who have pregnancy experience. Both bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were employed. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used.
resultsThe study results showed that the prevalence of alcohol use and response rate was high. Factors like age group of women from 35-49 years (AOR = 0.221; 95%CI = 0.057-0.856), illiterate women(AOR = 2.697;95% CI = 1.207-6.026), currently pregnant (AOR = 0.139;95%CI = 0.057 0.343), women currently use alcohol (AOR = 0.021; 95% CI = 0.009 0.049), alcohol use pre-pregnancy (AOR = 0.016; 95% CI = 0.006-0.042), women drinking alcohol with husband during pregnancy (AOR = 0.228; 95% CI = 0.085-0.614), the risk of alcohol consumption during pregnancy is low(AOR = 0.262;95%CI = 0.074-0.925), risk alcohol consumption during pregnancy is medium (AOR = 0.296;95% CI = 0.103-0.849),utilization of alcohol during pregnancy is valuable (AOR = 0.104; 95%CI = .0.013-0.833) were statistically associated with alcohol use during pregnancy.
conclusionThe result inferred that there is a high level of alcohol use throughout pregnancy. Due to the differences in the culture and communal means of drinking alcohol, the frequency of alcohol consumption during pregnancy varies among different regional studies and countries.
