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
Background/Objectives: Studies globally have documented the impact of COVID 19 on maternal and newborn health services. This study assesses the impact of COVID-19 on essential maternal and child health (MCH) services in India based on the national Health Management Information System (HMIS). Methods: Present retrospective study used secondary data analysis upon the routinely collected data accessed from Health Management Information System. Microdata on maternal and newborn indicators was extracted for all states between April and June during 2019, 2020 and 2021. Relative change for each indicator were taken into consideration for the year 2020 and 2021; with respect to the outcomes in 2019. Results: Compared to 2019, antenatal care registrations saw a decline in all states for both periods in 2020 and 2021 except for Sikkim, Telangana, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Similarly, the relative changes in 2019 pertaining to the proportion of pregnant women provided with emergency obstetric care for pregnancy complications registered a decline in all states except for Himachal Pradesh, Telangana and Arunachal Pradesh. There was a decreasing trend noted in institutional deliveries in 2020 and 2021 among all major states. However, an increasing trend was seen in the number of immunization sessions held among all major states. Conclusion: The study demonstrates a disruption in service delivery during the lockdown period in the first wave and the peak of the second wave. Further qualitative studies need to be undertaken to generate evidence for maintaining continuum of care during a pandemic situation.
