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
backgroundThe use of seatbelts in motor vehicles among pregnant women can reduce morbidity and mortality due to road traffic crashes; however, to date, there are no published studies on seatbelt usage among pregnant women in Indonesia. This research aims to promote the safety of pregnant women when using a motor vehicle. Its objective was to investigate the practices of seatbelt usage among pregnant front passengers and the associated factors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Samarinda, Indonesia. Pregnant women were asked to complete a self-administered validated and published questionnaire, the SaPeIH-Q, which included sociodemographic information, and an assessment of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to seatbelt usage among pregnant women. Multiple logistic regression (MLogR) was performed via SPSS version 27 to identify independent factors associated with seatbelt usage.
resultsAmong the 326 pregnant front passengers, only 34.7% used seatbelts, and only 39.3% correctly identified the placement of the three-point seatbelt. The practice of using seatbelts before pregnancy and knowledge of seatbelt usage were significantly associated with using seatbelts during pregnancy (p = 0.001 and 0.004, respectively).
conclusionThe seatbelt usage rate among pregnant front passengers was low. Pregnant front passengers who used seatbelts before pregnancy were more likely to use them during pregnancy, and pregnant women with good knowledge were more likely to use seatbelts during pregnancy. The rate of seatbelt use during pregnancy may improve with increasing knowledge of seatbelt usage and the use of seatbelts before pregnancy.
