Antenatal care positive responses to pregnant women in preventing and controlling malaria in pregnancy: the sub-Saharan African perspective.
Review in World journal of pediatrics : WJP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe response to antenatal care (ANC) for maternal and offspring outcomes, especially in pregnant women has been thoroughly studied. However, despite the number of interventional studies on the treatment of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine combination (IPTp-SP) uptake, the point in point cases of the positive responses of ANC in improving health conditions of pregnant women are not found in the literature. DATA SOURCES: This review collected ANC responses to the positive health outcomes for pregnant women with malaria, the challenges faced regarding IPTp-SP uptake during ANC visits and the role of ANC in preventing and controlling malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. It elucidated ANC and uptake of optimal intermittent preventive IPTp-SP and further described ANC as a tool for heterogeneity for malaria prevention.
resultsANC is seen as a microscope to malaria in pregnacy, maternal iron deficiency and anemia checkpoints, ANC and malaria treatment strategies, and ANC and the use of insecticide treated nets (ITN). The review further discussed ANC attendance influencing factors, limitations to ANC implications and the prospects in ANC visits on preventing malaria in pregnancy.
conclusionsA declining trend of malaria transmission in Africa has been observed in recent years. However, the burden of malaria in pregnancy remains a health concern. The rate of SP resistance, low uptake of IPTp-SP, low LLINs distribution, late gestational ANC visits and low turnaround for optimal ANC visits for first time mothers' aggrevated the malaria-endemic settings among pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa.
