1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Time of labor or time of emergency is not the time to decide what to do, instead it is time to seek care from skilled health care providers. Birth preparedness and complication readiness is the process of planning for a normal birth and anticipating the action needed in case of an emergency, which helps to minimize obstetric complications. Even though birth preparedness and complication readiness reduce maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality, the practice of birth preparedness and complication readiness is still low in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the practice of birth preparedness and complication readiness and its associated factors among pregnant women who attended antenatal care in the public health facilities of Debre Tabor town, northwest, Ethiopia. A health facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August 1/2022 to September 15/2022 among 397 pregnant mothers. The study was collected using a systematic random sampling technique and the collected data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio and considered significant at a confidence interval of 95% and a
