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
objectiveTo assess birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) and associated factors among pregnant women in Bachoo District, Oromia, Ethiopia.
designA mixed cross-sectional study design was employed to conduct this study.
settingA community-based cross-sectional study was done in the rural community of Bachoo District of Iluu Abbaa Boor Zone, Oromia Region, Southwest Ethiopia.
participantsA total of 307 pregnant women participated in the quantitative study, 51 respondents were involved in the qualitative part. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the final respondents. Data were entered into EpiData V.3.1 and analysed using SPSS V.22. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analysis was done. The level of statistical significance was declared at a p<0.05. Three focus group discussions and 21 in-depth interviews were conducted, and the data were analysed using thematic analysis and triangulated to support the findings of the quantitative study.
resultThe prevalence of BPCR was 30.6%. Being governmental employee ((adjusted OR, AOR=3.22 95% CI (1.49 to 11.79)), educational status of secondary and above ((AOR=1.9 95% CI (1.15 to 3.84)), multigravidity ((AOR=5.96, 95% CI (1.18 to 3.68)), having four or above ANC visits ((AOR=4.25 CI (1.38 to 7.84)), participating in pregnant women conference ((AOR=2.11 95% CI (1.07 to 3.78)), having good knowledgeable of obstetrics danger signs ((AOR=10.4 95% CI (5.57 to 19.60)), hearing the term BPCR ((AOR=4.36, 95% CI (1.93 to 9.82)) were among factors significantly associated with BPCR. The qualitative study also showed that poor maternal knowledge on birth preparedness and obstetric danger signs, negligence and weak support systems in the community were among the main barriers. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: This study demonstrated that the practice of BPCR in the study area was very low. Therefore, healthcare providers in the study area should strengthen BPCR knowledge through educating women the community at large.
