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 and Objective: The introduction of digital health has been found to improve maternal health globally. However, the use and determinants of digitalized antenatal education (DAE) use among vulnerable populations are yet to be ascertained. Therefore, this study assessed the use and determinants of DAE use among pregnant women living with human immunodeficiency viruses (PWLHIV). Methods: The study adopted a descriptive design. Oyo state was randomly selected in Southwestern Nigeria, and 116 PWLHIV, who are receiving antiretroviral therapy, were recruited for the study. Of these, 93 returned completed data, which were included in the data analysis. A validated online questionnaire was used for data collection. Data analysis was done using STATA version 17. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the use, feasibility, and acceptability of DAE. Logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of DAE use. Results: Most (78 [83.9%]) of the participants reported that they have never used DAE. Similarly, 72 (77.4%) reported that they were not familiar with DAE at all. However, 84 (90.3%) of the women believed that it would be highly effective. The feasibility of DAE use is high in 83 (89%) of the participants. Furthermore, the majority of the participants, 73 (78.5%), indicated that DAE addresses their specific needs, and 77 (82.8%) of them reported being very comfortable with using DAE. The level of acceptability of DAE use is high in 73 (78.5%) of the participants. Determinants of DAE use, using adjusted odds ratio (AOR), include internet access (AOR = 1.205 with 95% confidence intervals [CI] of 0.233-6.221 and p = 0.024) and digital literacy (AOR = 14.072 with 95% CI of 2.209-89.634, and p = 0.005). Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Despite the high feasibility and acceptability of DAE in Nigeria, its use is very low among PWLHIV. Strong determinants of use include digital literacy and internet access. Thus, for PWLHIV to meet the global standard in the use of digital health, interventions to improve digital literacy and internet access in low-resource settings are recommended.
