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: Family planning (FP) is important in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality as well as foetal and neonatal complications. This study aimed to determine the intention to practise FP among antenatal women at risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the Klang Health District and its associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at four government health clinics in the Klang Health District. A total of 431 antenatal women at risk of GDM were recruited using systematic random sampling. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used to assess knowledge, attitude, previous practice and intention to use FP after delivery. Multiple logistic regression (MLR) was used to determine the factors associated with the intention to practise FP. Results: Approximately 64.7% (n=279) of the respondents intended to practise FP MLR showed that the factors associated with the intention to practise FP were Malay ethnicity (odds ratio [OR]=3.319, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.431-7.697), low income (OR=2.174, 95% CI=1.317-3.588), good knowledge (OR=2.591, 95% CI=L008-6.174) and good previous practice (OR=3.956, 95% CI=1.428-9.052). Conclusion: The prevalence of the intention to practise FP among antenatal women at risk of GDM was 64.7%. Malay antenatal women from low-income households with good knowledge and previous practice were more likely to have the intention to practise FP after delivery. Thus, interventions targeted at non-Malay women and measures to improve their knowledge might help improve the intention and uptake of FP among these women.
