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
Coverage levels of maternal and neonatal health services in Mali's major cities vary due to the combined effect of several factors, including poverty and migration to urban centers. This worsened from 2012 due to the security crisis. We conducted an analysis of the trends and differences in several indicators of maternal and neonatal care coverage in Bamako using secondary data from Mali's Demographic and Health Surveys from 2001 to 2018. Our results highlighted differential access to antenatal and childbirth care for non-poor and non-migrant women compared to their counterparts categorized as poor and migrant. The gaps were much larger depending on migration status (i.e., number of years since resettling in Bamako) and even tended to increase over time. This was particularly the case regarding the number of antenatal visits (ANC 4+), with differences according to poverty level at 7 percentage points in 2001 and 8.3 percentage points in 2018. Migration status showed even larger gaps to the disadvantage of migrant women of 13.4 percentage points (2006) and 24.4 percentage points (2018). There is a higher proportion of cesarean section among non-poor women. The results suggested an opposite pattern for postnatal care of newborns, with a difference of 6.8 percentage points of coverage in favor of the poor in 2018. The high coverage of maternal and newborn health interventions in Bamako city conceals intra-urban disparities to the detriment of poor migrant women and those who recently migrated to the city, partly due to the conflicts and security issues. A redefinition of health programs to include such targets would be desirable from an equity perspective.
