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

Objective: To assess the adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes of anemia among pregnant women in primary hospitals in Southern Ethiopia. Methods: This institution-based prospective cohort study was conducted from March 1 to October 30, 2022, in three primary hospitals in the Hadiya zone of Southern Ethiopia. Participants were categorized into exposed (Hb < 11 g/dL) and non-exposed (Hb ≥ 11 g/dL) groups based on hemoglobin levels measured before delivery. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. Maternal and neonatal complications were considered as outcomes. Data were analyzed using STATA version 15. Descriptive statistics summarized baseline characteristics, and Chi-square tests assessed associations. Generalized linear models with a log link calculated adjusted relative risks (a Results: A total of 490 participants were enrolled in the study, with 245 in each of the exposed and non-exposed groups. Due to loss to follow-up, 220 participants in the exposed group and 239 in the non-exposed group were assessed for outcomes. Prolonged labor (adjusted Conclusion: Mothers who have experienced maternal anemia in the past or present face serious consequences for both themselves and their children. Preventing anemia should thus start before conception and continue through pregnancy.
