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
backgroundNon-communicable diseases burden is rising globally; women are disproportionately affected by both non-communicable diseases burden and lack of access to health care. Research on the relationship between access to health care and non-communicable diseases control are limited. We aimed to assess the relationship between women's access to health care and three non-communicable diseases control.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 420 women diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and/or Asthma. Access to health care was assessed through pretested validated Arabic version of access 31 questionnaire. The control status of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and asthma was assessed according to the American Diabetes Association HbA1c targets, World Health Organization Guidelines, and the Global Initiative for Asthma control assessment tool, respectively. The associations were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
results(83%) of the participants had poor access to health care, of those, (39.0%) achieved non-communicable diseases control, while (16.9%) participants had good access to health care, of them, (83.1%) had their non-communicable diseases controlled. This difference in non-communicable diseases control proportions across access to care groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Women with good access to health care had higher odds (Adjusted Odds Ratio 6.33, 95% confidence interval: 3.24-12.55) of having their non-communicable diseases controlled compared with those with poor access.
conclusionImproving access to health care is essential for achieving better non-communicable diseases control.
