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
purposeSeveral studies have demonstrated the role of periodontal disease as risk factor of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, low birthweight and pre-eclampsia. As such, midwives can play an essential role in prevention and early screening as the preferred intermediary of pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, training and daily practice habits of midwives to determine if they fulfill their role in oral health prevention. MATERIALS AND
methodsA questionnaire was sent by e-mail to practicing midwives and fifth-year midwifery students in the Brittany region of France. Data were collected online and descriptive data analyses were conducted.
resultsA total of 192 practicing midwives and 13 students participated in the survey. The results showed that the majority of midwives were not familiar with the correlation between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes and did not implement screening and prevention to a sufficient extent.
conclusionThe explanation for this lack of knowledge seems to come from the initial training, since the topic of oral health is almost never discussed during midwives' studies. Most agreed they needed more training on periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Improving and integrating oral health education into the midwife academic curriculum can enhance midwives' engagement in oral health.
