1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Achieving equitable antenatal care (ANC) is fundamental to China's 'Healthy China 2030' agenda and its universal health coverage (UHC) commitments. Despite measurable national progress, substantial urban-rural and regional disparities in ANC access persist, driven by a complex interplay of financial, geographic, institutional, and digital barriers that disproportionately affect rural, low-income, and migrant populations. This analysis examines the current landscape of ANC in China, identifying core structural challenges including the enduring legacy of the
