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: Obstetric violence is globally acknowledged as a significant public health concern, with women in many countries reporting different types of mistreatment during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, that negatively affect their physical and emotional health. Many women are vulnerable to obstetric violenceand without knowledge about their rights, do not identify specific manifestations of violence. Aim: This baseline study aimed to assess the current knowledge on obstetric violence in pregnant women and to determine possible associated factors in the central zone, Tanzania. Methods: The baseline cross-sectional study was conducted on 349 randomly selected pregnant women between February and April 2025. A standard semi-structured questionnaire in a kobo tool box software was used to collect data on knowledge of obstetric violence and associated factors. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted using SPSS software version 29. Results: Overall, only 120(34.4%) of pregnant women had adequate knowledge of obstetric violence. The most commonly known components of obstetric violence were verbal 216(61.9%) and physical violence 211(60.5%). High levels of education, gravidity, and mobile phone usage for health-related issues were significantly associated with knowledge of obstetric violence. In addition, none of the pregnant woman reported being counselled about obstetric violence during their antenatal care. Conclusion: This baseline assessment offers essential information regarding the current state of knowledge about obstetric violence among pregnant women. The absence of reported counseling about obstetric violence during antenatal care highlights a critical gap. The results highlight the necessity for selective educational initiatives to enhance women's knowledge and their rights during pregnancy, childbirth and after childbirth in promoting respectful maternity care.
