1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease that is asymptomatic in many but can spread through the placenta during pregnancy causing miscarriage, stillbirth, intrauterine death, and neurologic impairments. This study reports on the proportion and risk factors associated with the seropositivity of Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among pregnant women attending antenatal care at a district hospital in Ghana. The participants were selected randomly for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information and data on possible risk factors associated with toxoplasmosis. Serum samples from the participants were screened for exposure to Results: There were 84 women who participated in this study. The mean age of the sample was 26.96 ± 5.67 years; 64.29% had basic education, 21.43% were traders and 14.29% were farmers. Forty-seven women (55.95%) tested seropositive for Conclusion: High proportions of pregnant women in this study were found to be exposed to
