1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo evaluate awareness and understanding of congenital cytomegalovirus infection among pregnant women in Poland and to identify factors associated with higher knowledge.

methodsA web-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Poland between February and July 2024, using an anonymous online questionnaire distributed via obstetric-gynecologic clinics and social media. A total of 1015 fully completed responses were analyzed. Knowledge was assessed using a 15-item score and dichotomized at the median. Group comparisons were performed using

resultsThe mean knowledge score was 7.70 ± 3.60, with no difference between primiparous and multiparous women. Higher odds of high knowledge were associated with daily contact with children under three years of age (OR 1.60; 95 %CI 1.20,2.14) and comfortable household income (OR 1.56; 95 %CI 1.20,2.04). Lower knowledge was associated with public prenatal care (OR 0.65; 95 %CI 0.46,0.94), residence in medium-sized cities (OR 0.59; 95 %CI 0.39,0.88), and rural areas (OR 0.61; 95 %CI 0.44,0.85).

conclusionsPregnant women in Poland demonstrate only moderate awareness of congenital cytomegalovirus, with significant socioeconomic and healthcare-related disparities, indicating a need for early targeted education within public antenatal services.
