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
backgroundAmidst the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, crucial integrated service post for women and children at the community level in Indonesia experienced disruptions. This change resulted in shifts in maternal and child health (MCH) surveillance.
objectivesThis research aims to examine lessons from Indonesia's community-based maternal and child health surveillance practices amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsThe study was conducted in Depok, West Java, an urban area in Indonesia. A total of 20 key informant interviews with communities and government officials were carried out between October and December 2022. Data was analysed through content analysis.
resultsThe COVID-19 emergence led to an increased community-based MCH surveillance due to a growing public awareness to protect communities. The informants, while all acknowledging the importance of MCH surveillance, showed varied perspectives, highlighting gaps in perception. Four strategies in community-based MCH surveillance, including digital technology utilization, door-to-door visits, oral communication for identifying MCH cases, and community gatherings, had a positive impact on reporting and response. However, the incorporation of technology posed challenges, such as the diverse skill levels among community health workers (CHWs) and the general habit of producing hard copies after data entry.
conclusionWhile the practices had a positive impact, the findings highlight the need to mitigate the challenges in data reporting. Two approaches may include standardization of reporting practices by using a single MCH surveillance application that can be accessed by CHWs and training programs to bridge the proficiency gaps in digital technology.
