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: Poor knowledge of danger signs during pregnancy can have serious consequences on the health of both the mother and the baby. In addition to this inability to recognize signs of obstetric complications, it serves as a barrier to making a decision to access healthcare and therefore is one of the factors responsible for the first level of delay that contributes to maternal mortality. Previous studies conducted in the country were focused on assessing maternal knowledge about obstetric danger signs during pregnancy. However, there is a scarcity of information or little is known about the current knowledge of the husbands about obstetric danger signs during pregnancy and influencing factors regarding the obstetric danger signs during pregnancy in Ethiopia, particularly in Chencha town, southern regional state. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 husbands living in selected kebeles in Chencha town from September 1 to 30, 2022. A random sampling technique was used to select kebeles in Chencha town, southern region. Data were collected using a structured and pretested questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS) Version 25. Results were presented in the form of percentage, frequency tables, and pie charts. Binary logistic regression was performed to check for an association between independent and outcome variables at Results: The study found that 45.5% (95% CI: 41%-50%) of husbands are aware of the danger sign during pregnancy. Factors such as the wife's secondary educational level (AOR = 4.700, 95% CI: 2.330-9.478), more than secondary educational level (AOR = 3.132, 95% CI: 1.549-6.364), previous obstetric complications (AOR = 1.796, 95% CI: 1.145-2.817), access to media information (AOR = 1.881, 95% CI: 1.117-3.166), and follow-up of antenatal care (AOR = 1.839, 95% CI: 1.175-2.880) were statistically significantly associated with married men's knowledge of obstetric danger signs during pregnancy. Conclusions: This study indicated that the current knowledge of husbands about the danger sign during pregnancy was low. Therefore, strengthening the provision of information on danger signs during pregnancy in ANC and information on behavioral communication of husbands regarding partner support is recommended.
