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
Introduction: In recent years, there has been an increase in noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), where maternal blood samples are used to extract fetal cell-free DNA. Despite this being offered in several facilities in urban areas, NIPT remains to be scarcely unavailable in rural areas. Moreover, there is lacking information with regard to how pregnant women in rural areas perceive NIPT. Thus, in this study, we conducted a survey among pregnant women who came to our clinic for NIPT and examined their views on NIPT and genetic counseling. Methods: A questionnaire survey was administered to pregnant women who requested NIPT and underwent genetic counseling at our hospital between November 2016 and February 2020. The questionnaire was administered twice, once after completing the genetic counseling and once after explaining the NIPT results. The number of genetic counseling and NIPT sessions and positive test results, as well as anxiety about the test and evaluation of genetic counseling and NIPT, were assessed. Results: In total, 115 patients received genetic counseling, of which 109 underwent NIPT. The test results were found to be positive in six patients. As per our findings, 103 patients (93%) indicated they needed genetic counseling for NIPT, whereas 99 (93%) were satisfied with the counseling they received from a genetic medicine specialist. On the other hand, 82 patients (77%) requested for more testing facilities. Conclusions: The enhancement of genetic counseling systems is essential to expand the environment in which NIPT is performed. Therefore, we need to consider the need to make the NIPT testing environment more conducive and inform clients of the importance of genetic counseling in NIPT.
