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
Racial and ethnic disparities continue to affect maternal mortality, morbidity, and birth outcomes. Historically marginalized communities currently face higher rates of cesarean surgery, preterm birth, low birth weight, and infant mortality. Increased accessibility to culturally congruent doula services can help bridge disparities in maternal mortality, morbidity, and birth outcomes. This feasibility study aimed to characterize the need for doula care among patients of two large academic hospitals to inform the creation of a hospital-based doula program. In partnership with community-based midwives and doulas, we created an institutional review board-approved, anonymous, cross-sectional survey of consenting patients from two large academic health-care centers, one of which is a large safety-net hospital. Inclusion criteria included patients between the ages of 18 and 49 years who have had previous pregnancies, are currently pregnant, are thinking about becoming pregnant, or are not currently considering pregnancy. Surveys were offered in English, Spanish, and Haitian Kreyol. A total of 176 patients participated in and completed our survey study. Patients with an annual household income between $25,000 and $50,000 (Odds Ratio = 4.87, 95% confidence interval [1.02, 23.36]) were almost five times more likely than those with an annual household income below $25,000 to express interest in doula care. Among patients who expressed interest in doula care, there was a statistically significant association between the ability to pay for doula care and race (
