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: Person-centered maternity care is a crucial scheme for a positive childbirth experience. It enhances facility-based delivery, improves patient-provider communication, and increases women's satisfaction. However, there is limited evidence on the magnitude of person-centered care and certain variables were missed in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study assessed the magnitude of person-centered maternity care during childbirth and associated factors at health institutions of Debre Markos town, Ethiopia. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public health institutions of Debre Markos town. Participants were enrolled using systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected through face-to-face exit interviews, cleaned, coded, and entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 then exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. After generating simple linear regression analysis, variables with Results: In this study, 380 women participated, with a response rate of 98.19%. The respondent's mean person-centered maternity care score was 56.83 with 95% CI: (55.83, 57.83). Mean score for sub-scale was 15.08 for dignity and respect, 14.42 for communication and autonomy, and 27.33 for supportive care. Commencing antenatal care during third trimester (β = -4.86, 95% CI: -8.22, -1.49), caesarean delivery (β = -5.78, 95% CI: -7.68, -3.87), college and above educational level of women (β = 3.75, 95% CI: 1.11, 6.39), being multiparous (β = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.85, 5.55), and health center delivery (β = 6.59, 95% CI: 4.17, 9.02) were factors significantly associated with person-centered maternity care. Conclusion: This study showed person-centered maternity care was low compared with World Health Organization standards. This informs local policymakers, district health offices, institutional healthcare administrators, and healthcare professionals of the discrepancies in achieving international standards of quality care.
