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
backgroundAnaemia is among the top list of the contemporarily public health burden in both developed and developing countries, by affecting mainly women's and children's health.
objectiveThis study aimed to identify the burden of anaemia and its individual and community level factors among women in The Gambia.
methodThis study was based on an extensive national survey, Gambian Demographic and Health Survey. A total weighted sample of 5,858 reproductive-age women was included. Because of the hierarchical nature of the DHS data, a multi-level logistic regression model was applied to study individual and community-level factors that may influence anaemia. A 95% confidence interval and a p-value of less than 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance.
resultThe overall prevalence of anemia was found 44.28% (95% CI 0.43, 0.46). Current users of contraceptives were (AOR = 0.66, 95% CI: (0.55- 0.79)) and currently pregnant (AOR = 1.44. 95% CI: (1.16, 1.81)) less likely and more likely to develop anaemia compared to their counterparts respectively. In addition to this, living in the region of Brikama (AOR = 0.69, 95% CI: (0.50-0.97)) less likely to be exposed to anemia. From community level factor, high distance to the health facilities (AOR = 1.23,95% CI 1.02-1.48) were associated with anemia.
conclusionThe study revealed that the burden of anaemia among reproductive age Gambian women was very high. Anaemia was affected by both individual and community levels of factors. Thus, the burden of anaemia could be significantly reduced if pregnant and contraceptive users' women were monitored and encouraged. Increasing the accessibility of health facilities, community mobilization, and awareness enhancement are also advisable.
