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: The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women remains high globally, particularly in low-income settings. Iron and folic acid supplementation (IFAS) during pregnancy is the most widely employed strategy to alleviate adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to explore the determinants of compliance with iron supplementation in the study area. Aim: To identify determinants of IFAS compliance among pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in Mettu town, South West Ethiopia, in 2021. Methods: A facility-based, unmatched case-control study was conducted from May to July 2021 with a total sample size of 344 (115 cases and 229 controls). Cases and controls were selected using systematic random sampling. Data was collected using a structured, pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire, entered into Epi-data software version 3.1, and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Variables with Result: Having Previous history of anaemia (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 5.8, 95% CI [2.5-13.6], Conclusions: Maternal knowledge about IFAS, counseling about IFAS, occupation, and history of anaemia were found to be significantly associated factors with compliance with iron folate supplementation during pregnancy. This implies that adherence to IFAS can be improved through improving maternal knowledge about importance of IFAS, quality counseling services and strengthening an overall ANC follow-up services.
