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

Background: The evidence of husband's involvement in maternal antenatal care (ANC) is scant and inconsistence across each study. Therefore this systematic review and meta-analysis will be to examine (1) the characteristics of published studies on husband involvement in maternal ANC; (2) estimate the nationwide magnitude of husband involvement in maternal ANC;(3) show the significant association between husband involvement in maternal ANC and reported associated factors in published articles. Method: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted by publishing and unpublishing articles, which will be searched online through Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, HINARI, and Africa Journals. The Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline will be used to review articles. Repeated articles will be removed by EndNote version X7.1. The data will be extracted by using the 2014 Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers' Manual data extraction. Critical appraisal of the studies will be done by the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI-MAStARI) for cross-sectional studies tool. Begg-Mazumdar rank correlation tests and Egger's regression tests will be used to check the presence of publication bias. The presence of heterogeneity will be assessed by Cochran's Q statistics. Discussion: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be the only study that investigates the magnitude and associated factors of husband's involvement in maternal ANC. Through gathering information, the possible outcome will be to investigate and show those interested to utilize it.
