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: Pregnancy is a natural physiological process. However, it significantly affects mothers' health-related quality of life through various physical, psychological, social, and environmental changes. Understanding the determinants of health-related quality of life during antenatal care can guide maternal health interventions. Objectives: To assess health-related quality of life and associated factors among mothers attending antenatal care in South Wollo Zone public hospitals, Northeast Ethiopia. Design: An institution-based cross-sectional study. Methods: Systematic random sampling method was used in five randomly selected hospitals among mothers attending antenatal care from March 1 to 30, 2024. Health-related quality of life was measured using World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. Data were entered into EpiData 3.1 and exported to SPSS 25 for analysis. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed by selecting variables with a Results: The mean scores for physical, psychological, social relationship, and environmental health-related quality of life domains were 71.0, 72.1, 66.1, and 65.7, respectively. Among the participants, 76.1% rated their health-related quality of life as neither poor nor good, and 42.3% reported being neither dissatisfied nor satisfied in terms of their health satisfaction. Physical health was negatively affected by pregnancy-related illness, older age, and depression. Psychological domain declined with depression, rural residence, and perceived social stigma. Depression and perceived social stigma impaired social relationships. Environmental quality of life was lower among depressed participants, rural residents, and those reporting current alcohol use. Conclusion: Overall, participants demonstrated moderate health-related quality of life across all domains, with most perceiving their health status as neutral. Health professionals should follow holistic care, including physical, psychological, social, and environmental interventions. Targeted interventions are needed to address negatively associated predictor variables for all domains of health-related quality of life.
