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
objectiveTo describe the epidemiological profile of prenatal care, childbirth, and live births among Indigenous women in the Wayamu Territory, located in the municipality of Oriximiná, Pará, Brazil, from 2013 to 2022.
methodsThis is a descriptive, retrospective, and quantitative study based on secondary data from the Live Birth Information System (SINASC), accessed via DATASUS. A total of 713 live births were analyzed. The study included the following variables: maternal age, type of delivery, number of prenatal consultations, place of birth, birth weight, Apgar score at 1 and 5 min, and newborn sex. Low birth weight was defined as < 2,500 g. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, Pearson correlation, and t-tests, with a significance level of p < 0.05.
resultsMost births were vaginal (81.35%), and the majority of mothers were aged 20-29 years (46.84%), followed by adolescents aged 10-19 years (24.96%). A total of 96.77% of Indigenous women attended at least one prenatal consultation, and 39.55% completed seven or more. Low birth weight was observed in 8.84% of newborns. A significant positive correlation was found between the number of prenatal consultations and birth weight (r = 0.789, p = 0.006). A Chi-square test showed that adolescent mothers were proportionally more represented than adult women aged 20-29 years (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe maternal and neonatal outcomes observed among Indigenous women in the Wayamu Territory are similar to national patterns but reveal persistent challenges, including adolescent pregnancy, low prenatal consultation rates, and increasing medicalization of childbirth. These findings highlight the need for expanded public policies focused on culturally sensitive and equitable maternal and child healthcare for Indigenous populations in Brazil.
