Utilization of antenatal care among adolescent and young mothers in Ghana; analysis of the 2017/2018 multiple indicator cluster survey.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundComplications during pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death among adolescent girls. In Ghana, the prevalence of adolescent pregnancy remains high. Yet, little is known about ANC utilization among adolescent and young mothers. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of obtaining 4 or more ANC visits and associated factors among adolescent and young mothers.
methodsWe analysed secondary data from the sixth round of the Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. A total of 947 adolescent and young mothers were included in this study. Data were analysed using STATA/SE, version 16, employing descriptive statistics and Binary Logistic Regression.
resultsIt was found that majority of the participants were aged 20-24 years (70%), married/in union (61%) and non-insured (64%). The prevalence of obtaining 4 or more ANC visits was 84%. Adolescent and young mothers with junior high school education, in the second wealth quintile, exposed to the internet, and resided in the Upper East region had a higher likelihood of obtaining 4 or more ANC visits (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that optimal ANC utilization among adolescent and young mothers were determined by socio-economic factors. Going forward, maternal healthcare interventions must prioritize adolescent and young mothers from poor socio-economic backgrounds.
