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
Background: Antenatal care (ANC) provides an opportunity for screening, diagnosis, health promotion and disease prevention among pregnant mothers and their children. Therefore, this study was done to determine the utilization of antenatal services among postnatal mothers. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2023 to October 2023 among postnatal mothers admitted to the postnatal ward of a tertiary care institution. A total of 165 postnatal mothers fulfilling inclusion criteria were selected by simple random sampling, and data were collected by interviewing them using a pre-designed, pre-tested, semi-structured schedule. Data was entered in MS Excel and analysed using IBM SPSS 20.0 version (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY). Results: About 58.7% of study subjects attended all four antenatal visits. 73.3% registered early for their pregnancy. Mostly (47.3%) registration was done at the Primary Health Centre (PHC). Physical examination, including weight, blood pressure, pallor, oedema and abdominal examination, was done more than once in 89.7% of study subjects. 95.2% did urine test, 88.5% did haemoglobin estimation more than once, 60% postnatal mothers received at least 100 iron and folic acid tablets during pregnancy and 92.1% received both doses of Td (tetanus and diphtheria) vaccine. Similarly, the majority, 89.2%, received counselling on danger signs, and only 78.2% received counselling on birth preparedness. A significant association was observed among the number of antenatal visits and educational status ( Conclusions: Although most of the postnatal mothers received ANC services, some aspects of ANC need to be improved, mainly counselling of mothers.
