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
backgroundAlcohol is a major public health problem in pregnant women due to its harmful effects on pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes. Therefore, assessing the prevalence and the factors associated with hazardous alcohol consumption among HIV-positive women is important for early identification and intervention and implementation of rehabilitation centres in healthcare settings in order to prevent maternal adverse birth outcomes.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption and the associated factors among HIV-positive pregnant women attending public hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia. DESIGN AND STUDY
settingA facility-based, cross-sectional study was conducted among 401 HIV-positive pregnant women attending public hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia from 7 February to 7 April 2021.
participantsFrom a total calculated sample size of 423, 401 HIV-positive pregnant women who had a follow-up with selected hospitals' prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) clinics completed the interview (17 participants refused to provide information and 5 terminated the interview in the middle of it due to serious illness).
main outcome measuresThe main outcome measure of this study was hazardous alcohol consumption assessed using the Fast Alcohol Screening Test. Bivariate and multivariable binary logistic regressions were used to identify factors associated with hazardous alcohol consumption. Statistically significant associations were set at p<0.05.
resultsThe overall prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption among HIV-positive pregnant was found to be 7.7% (95% CI 5.2, 10.5). After adjusting for possible confounders, history of mental illness (adjusted OR (AOR)=3.10; 95% CI 1.19, 8.05), having comorbid psychological distress (AOR=4.39; 95% CI 1.57, 12.30), non-disclosure of HIV status to partner (AOR=3.28; 95% CI 1.21, 8.84) and poor medication adherence (AOR=2.82; 95% CI 1.20, 6.62) were significantly associated with hazardous alcohol use. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The overall prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption among HIV-positive pregnant women was high, especially among pregnant women who had a history of mental illness. Poor medication adherence, non-disclosure of HIV status to partner and having comorbid psychological distress are the main factors associated with hazardous alcohol consumption. Early detection and appropriate interventions to prevent hazardous alcohol consumption should be promoted at PMTCT clinics.
