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
Objectives: The study aimed to assess the awareness of mothers on the risk factors, prevention, and management of seizures in newborns. Materials & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 359 mothers using simple random sampling. The data were collected using questionnaires that included general awareness, awareness of the causes, risk factors, prevention, and management. The data collected were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Null hypotheses were tested using chi-square at 0.05 level of significance. Results: Two hundred seventy-four mothers (76.3%) had high awareness of seizures in newborns, thirty-four (9.5%) had average awareness, and fifty-one (14.2%) had low awareness. Two hundred seventy-three mothers (76%) had high awareness of the risk factors, and eighty-six (24%) had low awareness, meaning that although some respondents had misconceptions, awareness of the risk factors and causes was good. Two hundred twenty-three (62.1%) respondents had high awareness of preventing seizures in newborns, while 136 (37.9%) had low awareness. The awareness of respondents on managing seizures in newborns is positive, as 291 (81.1%) had high awareness of managing seizures in newborns, while sixty-eight (18.9%) had low awareness. There was a significant relationship between age ( Conclusion: A high awareness of neonatal seizures was found among mothers because of their high educational level, although some still had some misconceptions. Improving maternal neonatal seizure awareness and appropriate educational interventions to correct misconceptions are needed.
