Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveNeural tube defects remain a significant global health concern. This pilot study assessed folic acid (FA) knowledge and supplementation practices among pregnant women in Ukraine.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 95 pregnant women who completed a 22-item self-administered questionnaire assessing FA awareness and socio-demographic characteristics.
resultsAlthough 76.8% of participants reported planned pregnancies, only 25.3% used FA before conception, while 80.0% initiated supplementation after pregnancy recognition (
conclusionsA substantial gap exists between recommended and actual FA use, particularly before conception. Strengthening preconception counseling may improve timely supplementation.
