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
Inadequate prenatal care is associated with adverse outcomes for both mothers and newborns, making adherence to the Brazilian Ministry of Health's guidelines essential for ensuring quality care. This study aimed to analyze indicators related to prenatal care using data from the 2013 and 2019 editions of the Brazilian National Health Survey. The target population comprised women who had given birth in the two years preceding each survey. Indicators related to prenatal care were developed, including the number of visits, performance of exams, clinical-obstetric monitoring, and the guidance provided. The prevalences of these indicators and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were estimated and compared between 2013 and 2019 using the Pearson chi-squared test, adjusted by the Rao-Scott correction to account for the sampling design. A significant increase was observed in the number of prenatal visits (p < 0.05) and in the performance of clinical-obstetric exams (p < 0.05). Moreover, the proportion of women who received guidance on the referral service for delivery increased significantly from 75% to 83% (p < 0.001), as did the testing rates for syphilis (from 66% to 79%, p < 0.001) and HIV (from 95% to 99%, p < 0.001). The analysis reveals important progress in both the coverage and quality of prenatal care in Brazil. However, challenges remain, including the late initiation of prenatal care and insufficient guidance regarding referral services for delivery.
