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: The Information Mobilized for Performance Analysis and Continuous Transformation (IMPACT) approach model was introduced to promote the generation and utilization of quality data for evidence-based decision-making. Thus, this study aimed to determine the influence of the IMPACT approach and healthcare workers' knowledge on the availability of antenatal care (ANC) commodities. Methods: The research was carried out from July to August 2023 in Itilima District, Simiyu, Tanzania. Mixed methods were employed in a quasi-experimental and case study design. The data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire and complemented by in-depth interviews for the qualitative component. Longitudinal changes were assessed via paired sample Results: Of 90 participants in a quantitative design, the majority (64.8%) reported having good knowledge of the IMPACT approach. All health facilities had adequate stock of ANC health commodities. Compared to the baseline year, that is, 2019, significant differences were observed in the performance trends, particularly in 2022, with a mean (SD) of 17.1 ± 36.0, Conclusion: This study revealed that most healthcare workers have good knowledge of the IMPACT approach. The IMPACT approach was reported to improve the availability of ANC commodities. A strong emphasis should be placed on the use of health commodities data for decision-making.
