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: Healthy lifestyle behaviors in pregnancy are important for maternal and offspring health. Mobile health (mHealth) tools have potential to provide support for lifestyle behaviors at scale but such tools are commonly developed only in native languages, limiting reach in migrant populations. Objectives: This qualitative study, in two of the largest migrant populations in Sweden (Arabic- and Somali-speaking women), aimed to explore (a) perceptions and needs of knowledge and support related to pregnancy and lifestyle behaviors and (b) needs of and attitudes towards a pregnancy app and how features and content in the app can be adapted to support healthier lifestyle behaviors in migrant women. Method: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with Arabic ( Results: Arabic- and Somali-speaking women described an increased need of knowledge regarding pregnancy and lifestyle behaviors. The social environment could both motivate behavior change and be a source of misinformation. Women expressed great trust in maternity healthcare but requested more information related to lifestyle behaviors. A pregnancy app was perceived as a helpful tool to support healthy lifestyle behaviors. Mere translations were suggested to be valuable, however, audio- and video-format to deliver content and inclusion of women's partners in the app were described as desirable adaptations. Conclusion: Our findings can guide maternity healthcare on what support migrant women need and inform future development of mHealth tools for pregnant migrant populations. Future research should disentangle the degree of cultural adaptations required for mHealth lifestyle interventions provided by healthcare.
