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: Male involvement is crucial in spouse health care, especially during childbirth. Male involvement in maternal health has been linked to positive health outcomes for women and children as they control household resources and make significant decisions, which influence maternal health. Despite the important role they play in maternal health care, their actual involvement remains low in developing countries. Objective: This study investigates the level of male involvement in maternal health care among women and their spouse. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 336 participants (168 women, 168 husband) from two tertiary care hospitals at Rishikesh selected through convenient sampling technique. The data were gathered using a dichotomous questionnaire for male involvement. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The mean age of women is 24.62, husbands 24.16, and midwives 28.57 years. Most women and husbands were Hindus and reside in urban areas. 97% of women reported that their husbands were highly involved in maternal health care, particularly during the antenatal period. No significant association was found between the levels of male involvement in maternal health care among women. The level of male involvement, education, occupation, and income among husbands were found to have significant associations. Conclusion: Women stated that their husbands played a major role in providing maternal health care, especially during the antenatal period.
