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: Ensuring the satisfaction of pregnant women with antenatal care is crucial for positive pregnancy outcomes and their engagement with emerging technologies and alternative care models. Maintaining high satisfaction during the antenatal period significantly impacts the well-being of both the expectant mother and the unborn child. Despite the recognized importance of antenatal care satisfaction, comprehensive information on satisfaction levels and influencing factors in the specific study area is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to assess antenatal care service satisfaction and associated factors among pregnant women in Arba Minch town, southern Ethiopia. Methods: We conducted an institution-based cross-sectional study among 418 pregnant women from December 2022 to January 30, 2023, using a systematic sampling method. Data were collected using the Kobo Toolbox and analyzed with SPSS Version 26. The threshold for statistical significance was set at a p-value of less than 0.05. Results: Out of 418 participants, 54.3% (95% CI=49.4-60.4) expressed satisfaction with antenatal care services. Factors significantly associated with women's satisfaction included: being unable to read and write (AOR=2.37; 95% CI: 1.97-3.80), being aged 25-29 years (AOR=3.20; 95% CI: 1.65-6.22), receiving antenatal care at a hospital (AOR=1.81; 95% CI: 1.05-3.12), having a previous history of antenatal visits (AOR=2.59; 95% CI: 1.26-5.30), a monthly income of 2500-5000 ETB (AOR=1.44; 95% CI: 1.21-3.94), waiting times of less than 30 min (AOR=2.59; 95% CI: 1.52-4.41), maintaining a positive attitude towards antenatal care (AOR=2.50; 95% CI: 1.05-3.65), and having a secure food source (AOR=2.06; 95% CI: 1.13-3.78). Conclusion: Over 54% of participants were satisfied with antenatal care services. To improve satisfaction levels, recommended strategies include enhancing healthcare infrastructure, establishing maternity waiting areas, reducing waiting times, and expanding services to remote areas.
