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
Introduction: Uganda hosts an estimated 1.5 million refugees and 12.5% are urban refugees living in Kampala. Uganda is implementing an integrated healthcare system in which refugees and host populations utilize the same health care services. Objective: To assess the level of utilization of antenatal care services and associated factors among urban refugee adolescents in Kampala, Uganda. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 637 urban refugees who were adolescent mothers aged 10-19 years. Participants were interviewed using ODK software. The data were analyzed using Stata version 17. Uni-variate, bi-variate and multivariate analyses were performed, and the results reported as proportions, p values, odds ratios and confidence intervals. Results: Most (92.6%) had attended at least one ANC visit, however only a few (11.5%) attended the recommended WHO 8 visits. Less than half (41%) attended the initial ANC visit within the first trimester. The factors associated with ANC utilization included being married and living in an extended family. The factors associated with ANC attendance in the first trimester included being married, education and duration of stay in the area. Conclusions: Utilization of ANC by urban refugee adolescents in Kampala is sub-optimal. There is a need for targeted interventions to encourage adolescent refugees to utilize antenatal care services optimally.
