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: Globally pregnancy and childbirth complications are the leading cause of death among adolescents, with evidence showing that antenatal care (ANC) is a very effective preventive intervention. In Burundi, there is limited information on the extent to which pregnant adolescents utilise such services. Objective: To assess the ANC utilisation and factors associated with its use among adolescent mothers in Ngozi Province, Burundi. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, health facility-based study among 216 adolescent mothers who had given birth within two years preceding this study, using structured questionnaires and records from previous ANC booklets. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select respondents while the utilisation of ANC was determined by the frequency of ANC visits and the time when the women enrolled for the first ANC visit. Results: The majority (98.1%) of adolescent mothers in Ngozi Province used ANC services. Most respondents (64.8%) initiated ANC services within the first trimester while 57.8% attained the minimum of four recommended ANC visits. Marital status ( Conclusion: This study revealed a high use of ANC services among adolescent mothers, although more than one-third attended ANC late. There is therefore the need to put more effort into improving early booking for ANC.
