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: Despite the significance of internal migration as an important social determinant of health that could potentially affect the utilization of maternal healthcare services, the magnitude of this relationship by different migration streams is yet to be fully explored in Bangladesh. Methods: This study using Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data, 2017-18 examined the effects of different migration streams on maternal healthcare service utilization, particularly four or more antenatal care (≥4 ANC) visits and institutional delivery (ID) care services. Results: The analysis identified significant variations in using antenatal and institutional delivery care services between migrants and non-migrants. The rural non-migrants were found to be the most disadvantaged group, particularly when different forms of migration streams were considered. For instance, after adjusting for covariates, urban to urban migrants (≥4 ANC = 1.866, Conclusion: Addressing the effects of migration in designing and implementing maternal healthcare service delivery programs may address the needs and challenges faced by migrants.
