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
backgroundVisiting the desired number of antenatal care services improve the success of maternal health programs in terms of mother and child health. The study aimed to identify the factors associated with differences in the number of antenatal care service visits across and within regions of Ethiopia by using the 2019 Ethiopian Mini Demographic Health Survey (EMDHS).
methodsA total of 3979 women who were pregnant or gave birth within 5 years preceding the survey from the 2019 Ethiopian Mini Demographic Health Survey were included in the analysis. A multi-level Hurdle negative binomial regression model was selected to consider the hierarchical nature of the data in determining the factors associated with the barriers to the desired number of antenatal care service visits.
resultsAbout one-fourth (26.2%) of mothers did not visit any antenatal care, and only 137 (3.4%) women visited the service eight times and above. The random intercept with the fixed coefficient of multilevel Hurdle negative binomial model results has shown that women in the age group between 25 and 34 (AOR = 1.057), in the age group between 35 and 49 (AOR = 1.108), protestant religion follower women (AOR = 0.918), Muslim women (AOR = 0.945), other religion follower women (AOR = 0.768), mothers in primary educational level (AOR = 1.123), secondary and higher education level (AOR = 1.228), rich mothers (AOR = 1.134), and mothers living in rural (AOR = 0.789) were statistically associated with regional variation regarding the frequency of ANC service visits.
conclusionsThe majority of pregnant women did not visit antenatal care services according to the findings of this study. This study's results revealed that the predictor variables such as mother's age, education level, religion, place of residence, marital status, and wealth index were significant, and the findings revealed that there were regional differences in ANC visits in Ethiopia. Women's economic and educational interventions should be a top priority.
