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
Introduction: Obstetric cholestasis is one of the most frequent hepatic disorders specific to pregnancy. It occurs commonly during the latter half of pregnancy. The data regarding this issue is rare in our settings. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of obstetric cholestasis among pregnant women visiting a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women, who attended a tertiary care centre from 24 July 2022 to 24 January 2023. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of the same institute. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 99% Confidence Interval. Results: The prevalence of obstetric cholestasis was 80 (1.38%) (1-1.80, 99% Confidence Interval). A total of 40 (50%) were in the age group 21-30 years, with a mean age of 28.06±6.39 years. A total of 48 (60%) were multigravida and 73 (91.30%) had singleton pregnancies. Pruritus of the whole body was complained of by 56 (70%) patients. Previous history of obstetric cholestasis was present in 21 (26.30%). Conclusions: The prevalence of obstetric cholestasis among pregnant women is lower than other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: Nepal; obstetric cholestasis; pregnancy.
