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
The aim of the present study was to analyze the fertility rate, pregnancy outcomes, and rape notification coverage in pregnancies among girls 10 to 13 years of age in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. An ecological study was conducted with data from the Brazilian Information System on Live Births, Brazilian Mortality Information System, Brazilian Hospital Information System, and the Brazilian Information System for Notifiable Diseases in the period from 2012 to 2022 as well as the 2022 Demographic Census. Pregnancies among girls 10 to 13 years of age were analyzed, considering both registered and estimated rates and including those ending at 14 years with a probable date of conception at 13 years of age. Pregnancy outcomes among girls 10 to 13 years of age were compared to those among women 20 to 29 years of age. Notification coverage was determined by comparing reported cases of rape to the total number of registered and estimated pregnancies. The fertility rate and notification coverage in pregnancies among girls 10 to 13 years of age were analyzed according to the Regional Health Unit. A fertility rate of 1.7 per 1,000 was found, with an increase of 2.5 times when including estimated pregnancies. A total of 1,410 cases of rape were reported, corresponding to 29.1% of registered pregnancies and 11.5% of estimated pregnancies. Heterogeneity was found in fertility rates and notification coverage according to the Regional Health Unit of residence. Negative outcomes were up to four times higher in pregnancies involving girls 10 to 13 years of age compared to women 20 to 29 years of age, but the frequency of legal abortion was lower. The inequalities identified and the high negative outcomes in pregnancies involving girls 10 to 13 years of age underscore the need for public policies that prioritize protection and care provided for this group.
