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
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is highly prevalent in Ghana. Yet, knowledge of context-specific risk factors remains limited. This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of IDA among 394 pregnant women (aged 15-49 years) attending antenatal care at Ejura Municipal Hospital. A cross-sectional design guided by Engel's biopsychosocial model was employed. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and IDA status was determined via hemoglobin (Hb) levels or a full blood count, following the WHO definition of anemia (Hb < 11.0 g/dL). Overall and subgroup prevalence were estimated, and risk factors were analyzed using logistic regression. Participants' ages ranged from 15 to 46 years, with a mean of 29 years. About 46.5% were 30 years or older, 67.0% resided in Hiawoanwu and Mpaebo, and 48.7% were Ewe or Sisala. The prevalence of IDA was 81.0%, indicating a high burden. Unemployed women were 3.55 times more likely to be anemic than farmers (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.55, 95% CI: 1.41-8.91,
