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
Background: This study aimed to identify the determinants of antenatal care (ANC) utilization among reproductive-aged women in Somaliland. Understanding these factors is crucial for improving maternal health. This study utilized data from the 2020 Somaliland Demographic Health Survey (SLDHS), which encompasses urban, rural, and nomadic residencies across six geographic zones in Somaliland. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2741 women aged 15-49 based on data from the SLDHS 2020. The primary outcome variable was ANC utilization, which was measured as a binary variable (utilization vs. nonutilization). Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors associated with ANC utilization. Results: The study found that higher maternal education levels (adjusted odds ratios [OR] = 2.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-3.14), urban residence (adjusted OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.09-1.70), higher household wealth quintiles (adjusted OR = 3.45, 95% CI: 2.50-4.76), husband's education level (adjusted OR = 1.87, 95% CI: 1.36-2.56), and exposure to mass media (adjusted OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.32-2.31) were significantly associated with increased ANC utilization. Conclusion: Education, economic status, and accessibility are the key determinants of ANC service uptake in Somaliland. These findings provide valuable insights for health planners and policymakers aiming to improve ANC utilization and maternal health outcomes in Somaliland.
