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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the willingness to pay (WTP) for maternity waiting home (MWH) services and the associated factors among pregnant women in Simada district, Northwest Ethiopia.
designFacility-based cross-sectional study design.
settingThe study was conducted in seven selected public health centres in Simada district, Northwest Ethiopia.
participantsA total of 423 pregnant women who attended antenatal care at selected public health centres were included as participants. OUTCOME MEASURES: The outcome variable, WTP for MWHs, was estimated using the bid contingent valuation method. A Tobit regression model was used to examine the association between the predictors and the outcome variable.
resultsA total of 423 pregnant women participated in this study, with a response rate of 97%. The majority, 86.6% (95% CI 80.20%, 92.42%) of participants were WTP for MWHs. The mean amount of money the pregnant mothers were WTP for MWH services per day was 24.35 ETB±16.85 (equivalent to US$0.76±0.53). The educational level (β= -0.181, 95% CI (-0.306 to -0.055) and wealth status (β=0.049, 95% CI (0.005 to 0.239) were factors significantly associated with WTP for MWH services.
conclusionThe vast majority of pregnant women were WTP for MWHs. However, the mean amount of money that the participants were WTP was less than the estimated and required amount of money for MWH expenses. Educational level and wealth status were identified as predictors of WTP for MWH services. Therefore, to establish a reliable and sustainable source of funding, it is desirable to introduce a supplemental financial strategy in addition to the community contribution.
