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: Maternal haematological status and concurrent blood-borne viral infections play a crucial role in determining pregnancy outcomes. This study assessed haematological profiles and the prevalence of blood-borne viruses among pregnant women attending a tertiary military hospital over a four-year period. Methodology: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using clinical records of 499 pregnant women who attended antenatal care at the 68 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria. Data on demographics, complete blood count, and serology for blood-borne viruses were extracted into a structured proforma. It was analysed using statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) version 29. Descriptive statistics were presented using tables and charts. Associations were tested, with statistical significance set at Results: Participants had a mean age of 36 ± 2.3 years. Blood group O was most common 245(49.7%), with the least being AB blood group which accounted for 48(9.6%). Haematocrit was lowest in the third trimester (31.21 ± 4.1%, Conclusion: HIV prevalence (6.0%) was higher than hepatitis B and C, and primiparous women showed significant anaemia with low haematocrit values. These findings call for targeted nutritional support and strengthened antenatal screening for blood-borne viruses to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
