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
Objective: The study aimed to assess the magnitude and factors associated with comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS among pregnant mothers attending antenatal care (ANC) services at health institutions in Arsi zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Methods: The study employed a health facility-based cross-sectional study design from 18 March to 25 June 2019. Out of an estimated sample size of 4481, a total of 4440 (92.23%) pregnant women were selected by multistage random sampling technique and interviewed. Multivariable binary logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The model fitness was tested by Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit, which provided a Results: Out of the total mothers (4440) interviewed, only 1430 (32.2%; 95% confidence interval: (30.83%, 33.60%)) had comprehensive knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Not knowing safe period to be pregnant (adjusted odds ratio = 0.67; 95% confidence interval: 0.56, 0.81), and not empowering women's for sexual practice (adjusted odds ratio = 0.50; 95% confidence interval: 0.43, 0.58) let women have less comprehensive knowledge while women who never educated about the sexual matter (adjusted odds ratio = 1.65; 95% confidence interval: 1.42, 1.92), who had a discouraging attitude toward having multiple partners (adjusted odds ratio = 1.53; 95% confidence interval: 1.24, 1.88), who had a discouraging attitude toward premarital sex (adjusted odds ratio = 1.68; 95% confidence interval: 1.38, 2.03), and who had a positive attitude toward accepting HIV/AIDS patients (2.69; 95% confidence interval: 2.34, 3.10) had more comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: Only about one-third (32.2%) of pregnant mothers on ANC follow-up had comprehensive knowledge. Thus, it would be better if the health institutions emphasize educating the mothers attending antenatal care follow-up about HIV/AIDS, for those who do not know pregnancy occurrence date, not empowered of sexual practice, and had an encouraging attitude toward multiple partners, premarital sex, and negative attitude toward accepting HIV/AIDS patients.
