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: Husbands' participation in maternal health care, as seen by an appropriate birth plan and readiness for complications, reduces maternal death by avoiding delays in recognizing danger signs, reaching a site of care, and seeking aid. As a result, this study aimed to determine the husband's participation in birth preparation and complication readiness, as well as its predictors, among men whose wives were referred to obstetric referral in the South Gondar Zone of North West Ethiopia. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among husbands whose wives were admitted with obstetric referrals in the selected hospitals from February to March 2021. A total of 393 individuals were chosen proportionally from the selected hospitals using a systematic random sampling technique. An interviewer-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data, which was then entered into Epi Data Version 3.1 and exported to Stata version 14 for analysis. To find predictors of the outcome variable, a binary logistic regression model was used. The final model's results were expressed as adjusted odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and Result: The magnitude of husband participation in birth preparedness and complication readiness among obstetric referrals was 282 (71.8%). Planned pregnancy [AOR, 95% CI: 2.78 (1.68-4.62)], discussion with their wife [AOR, 95% CI: 2.85 (1.72-4.71)], and good knowledge of danger signs during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum [AOR, 95%CI:2.71 (1.67-4.42)] were significantly associated with husband participation as compared to its counterparts. Conclusion and Recommendation: The husband's participation in birth preparedness and complication readiness for obstetric referrals in the South Gondar zone were reasonably good. For good husband participation in birth preparedness and complication readiness, knowledge of danger signs, pregnancy planning status, and discussion with wife about pregnancy were responsible. Healthcare providers should support mothers in discussing the danger signs of pregnancy, birth preparedness, and complication readiness with their husbands during ANC visits.
