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
Anemia progresses due to low red blood cells counts or hemoglobin. The World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested the condition to be a serious global public health problem that affects pregnant women worldwide. Anemic pregnant women may suffer post-partum hemorrhage, pre-term delivery, seizures, and severe cases of anemia that potentially lead to cardiac failure or death. However, it is pertinent for pregnant women and health service providers to have the adequate knowledge about the factors associated with anemia in pregnancy. Thus, this study assessed the factors associated with anemia in pregnancy women attending primary healthcare (PHC) centers in Ibeju-Lekki Local government area, Lagos state. This study employed descriptive cross-sectional design using multi-stage sampling method to recruit 295 pregnant women into the study. Data were collected using a semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire. The recruited participants (56.6%) were majorly in their third trimester, of which their mean age was 28.7 ± 5.9 years. About 80.7% of the participants were married, having a mean knowledge score of 6.6 ± 3.2. More than half of respondents (56.3%) were anemic and had a poor knowledge (50.5%) of anemia in pregnancy. The mean hemoglobin concentration within the population was 11.06 ± 0.73 g/dl with a range of 8.3 to 12.0. There was no significant association between the respondents' knowledge of anemia in pregnancy and anemic status (X
