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
objectiveTo evaluate the adequacy of prenatal care (PNC) in the state of Rio de Janeiro (SRJ) according to the type of childbirth funding.
methodsA cross-sectional, hospital-based study conducted from 2021 to 2023 through interviews with postpartum women and collection and analysis of data from prenatal cards and medical records in public and private hospitals. Overall adequacy and adequacy of various PN components were estimated based on care guidelines from the World Health Organization and the Brazilian Ministry of Health, using 95% as the standard for adequacy.
resultsPN coverage was 98.5%, with 98.6% of women having received a prenatal card. Among the 1,325 women with an available card, 79,3% began PNC by the 12th gestational week; 75.5% had the adequate number of consultations for gestational age at delivery; 64.7% had documentation of all first routine PN tests, and 18.9% of the second; 31.6% received adequate immunization for tetanus and hepatitis B; 29.4% received iron and folic acid supplementation; and 17.6% received counseling on delivery types, reference maternity hospital, and were asked about alcohol use and smoking. A decrease in PN adequacy was observed when all components were considered, with less than 1% of women achieving overall adequacy. Women with publicly financed births had greater social vulnerability and lower PN coverage and adequacy in terms of timing, number of consultations, tests, and counseling.
conclusionPNC was found to be inadequate in SRJ, with lower adequacy among women with public financing, who represent a group with higher social vulnerability, increasing the likelihood of adverse outcomes in this population. It is essential to develop and implement strategies to improve PN adequacy and to ensure the best care for those who need it most.
