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
This study was conducted to determine the feelings, thoughts, and attitudes of pregnant women towards the newborn heel blood screening test. The research has a mixed-methods design, where quantitative and qualitative data are evaluated together. The study was conducted between December 14, 2023, and May 5, 2024, and included 288 women whose pregnancies were confirmed biochemically, clinically, and radiologically. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of multiple-choice and open-ended questions, prepared based on a literature review and developed with expert opinion. Quantitative findings showed that marital status was significantly associated with selected newborn heel blood screening test-related statements. Chi-square analysis indicated that single pregnant women were significantly more likely than married women to report reading about the newborn heel blood screening test and to state that they had not encountered children developing allergic reactions following the test (χ
