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
backgroundMaternal healthcare services during pregnancy and childbirth are essential to reducing adverse maternal and child health outcomes, including maternal and child mortality. Midwives in Indonesia play an important role in providing maternal healthcare services. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to analyze trends in midwifery care utilization for antenatal care (ANC), intranatal care (INC), and postnatal care (PNC) among Indonesian women between in 2012 and 2017, and to examine the sociodemographic, economic, and regional factors associated with access and utilization to inform strategies for improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
methodThis study uses data from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) from 2012 to 2017. A total of 15,269 women aged 15-49 from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) participated in this study, consisting of 7,712 women from the 2012 survey and 7,557 from the 2017 survey. Only respondents who completed the Women's Questionnaire were included in the analysis. A multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze factors associated with midwives' engagement in maternal healthcare service provision. This study used multivariate analyses for 2012 and 2017 to examine the relationships between various socio-demographic characteristics and the utilization of specific maternal health services in Indonesia.
resultSeveral factors consistently influenced service utilization of midwifery services, including younger maternal age, secondary education, being married, without health insurance, rural residence, and higher ANC visit frequency. Women with normal births and without complications were significantly utilizing the service from midwives. Conversely, disparities remained for women in the eastern part of Indonesia and among those with higher parity.
conclusionMidwives play a critical role as accessible and trusted providers and remain central to strengthening service delivery and extending community-level reach across Indonesia. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers and health planners in enhancing midwife-led service coverage and improving maternal health outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
