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
backgroundTeenage pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy. The complications of teenage pregnancy are partially caused by the low level of self-care and lower usage rates of prenatal care. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of training based on the principles of motivational interviewing on self-care and the use of prenatal services by teenage pregnant mothers. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis semi-experimental study was conducted in 2023 in Zahedan city. Sampling was done in a multistage manner. The trainings were based on motivational interviews, which were held in groups during four sessions. The participants completed the self-care questionnaire before the intervention as well as at 28-30 weeks of gestation, and a checklist of the number of cares was completed after termination of pregnancy. The final sample included 42 mothers in the intervention group and 40 mothers in the control group. Data analysis was done using SPSS software (version 26) by considering the significance level of
resultsBefore the intervention, there was no significant difference in mean self-care scores between the intervention group (89.23 ± 20.6) and control group (84.8 ± 15.0) (
