Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women towards ODS in pregnancy in a selected hospital in South Africa.
backgroundObstetric danger signs in pregnancy (ODS) are early warning signs that women encounter during pregnancy from the moment of conception to delivery. Every pregnant woman is at risk of sudden, unpredictable obstetric complications, which could result in mortality or harm to the fetus. DESIGN/
methodThe study will adopt a quantitative, cross-sectional research design. POPULATION: the target will be all pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) visits at a selected hospital in South Africa. Nonprobability, convenience sampling will be employed. Tool: Questionnaires will be used to collect data from pregnant women, and the data will be analyzed with the help of a statistician. This research study will adhere to all relevant ethical principles and guidelines. The researcher will ensure trustworthiness through face and content validity, as well as reliability. A pilot study will be conducted to test the reliability and validity of the data collection tool. The researcher will safeguard the rights of study participants, uphold the integrity of the data, and prevent harm by adhering to the principles of ethics.
conclusionConclusions will be drawn from the study outcomes during data analysis. The study will help raise awareness of the importance of having a thorough understanding of ODS for pregnant women.
