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: Husbands' involvement in supporting standardised antenatal care (ANC) is essential for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes in geographically remote and socio-culturally complex settings. In Maluku, Indonesia, such involvement is shaped by limited-service access and entrenched cultural, religious and family power structures; yet their combined influence across pregnancy remains underexplored. Aim: This study examined how service access, cultural and religious norms, family dynamics and knowledge influence husbands' involvement in supporting standardised ANC in Maluku province, Indonesia. Setting: The study was conducted in six remote primary health centres in Maluku province, Indonesia. Methods: A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was applied. Quantitative data were analysed using chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression, while qualitative data from interviews and focus group discussions were thematically analysed. Data were collected from January 2024 to June 2024. Results: Only 27% of husbands actively supported standardised ANC. Supportive roles (adjusted odds ration [AOR] = 25.2; Conclusion: Husbands' limited involvement reflects gaps in knowledge, as well as the influence of family decision-making structures and socio-cultural norms. Integrating local wisdom (Bakele) into a culturally grounded, trimester-based antenatal counselling model may enhance participation. Contribution: This study informs culturally adapted ANC interventions in remote and socio-culturally complex settings.
