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
Prenatal screening and diagnostic tests are complex procedures that have to be conducted within a limited timeframe and require pregnant women to make rapid decisions. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of pregnant women by posing particular questions on screening and diagnostic tests, and to determine the correlation with sociodemographic and obstetric factors. A total of 259 pregnancies were enrolled to evaluate their knowledge of prenatal screening and diagnostic tests. Participants were categorized into groups and were presented with 5-point Likert-type questions. Based on the responses, each question was evaluated individually and scored. The mean age was 29.97 ± 5.63, the mean duration of marriage was 6.06 ± 5 years, and 32.8% of participants had a university degree or above. Among them, 52.1% (135/259) had not undergone prenatal screening tests. The percentage of recommended prenatal diagnostic testing was 37.1% (96/259). Demographic and obstetric characteristics were compared between those who underwent screening tests and those who did not. The percentage of screening tests was higher among employed women and those in consanguineous marriages. A statistically significant correlation was found between participants' consent for diagnostic testing, gestational week, employment status, and the type of screening test administered (p < 0.05). Questionnaire scores were significantly higher in both screened and unscreened groups among those with a university degree or higher. These findings emphasize the importance of informing pregnant women effectively, which may be achieved through a well-organized counseling network.
