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: This study aims to investigate the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA level and pregnancy outcomes among hepatitis B carriers. Methods: This study collected pregnant women who attended the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University (Guizhou, China) from June 2020 to June 2023. The levels of HBV DNA, HBV RNA, and HBeAg status in HBV carriers were detected. Pregnancy outcomes including intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), gestational hypertension (GH), pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM), mode of delivery, preterm birth, low birth weight (LBW) and macrosomia. Results: A total of 562 pregnant women were collected, 203 (36.12%) were infected with HBV. Compared with HBsAg negative, HBsAg positive pregnant women had a higher risk of ICP. There were no significant differences in the rates of GDM, GH, pre-eclampsia, PPROM, preterm birth, LBW, macrosomia, and mode of delivery among women in the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that maternal HBV RNA level (OR = 3.814, 95% CI: 2.036~7.142, P< 0.001) was an independent risk factor for ICP in HBsAg-positive pregnant women. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve revealed that the areas under the curve of HBV RNA for prediction of ICP was 0.8652(95% confidence interval 0.7636-0.9669, P< 0.001). Conclusions: The HBV RNA level has a significant negative impact on pregnancy outcomes. It may serve as an indicator to guide the prevention of ICP and improve maternal health.
