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
Objective: To examine the predictors of adverse birth outcomes (ABOs) among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at the Kintampo Municipal Hospital (KMH) in Ghana. Method: A case-control study was conducted to enrol 408 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at KMH into the study. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. Stata version 15 was used to analyse the data. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine factors associated with ABOs. Level of statistical significance was established at Results: Factors that were significantly associated with ABOs were: receiving of ITN (aOR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.20, 3.45), at least 8 times visits to ANC (aOR = 0.32, 95%CI: 0.15, 0.69), and partner's education (aOR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.29, 0.96). Conclusion: Contrary to expectations, this study revealed that receiving ITNs during pregnancy was associated with ABOs. Further research is needed to explain why receiving ITNs increases the likelihood of ABOs.
