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: Antenatal care (ANC) knowledge, birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) improve timely maternal and neonatal care, reducing labor delays and complications. In Gujarat, despite improved health indicators, awareness of pregnancy danger signs is crucial for further reducing maternal mortality. The study objective was to assess pregnant women's knowledge of ANC, BPCR, and to analyze socio-demographic factors associated with the BPCR index. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study (August 2023 to July 2024) surveyed 380 pregnant women from urban and rural antenatal clinics affiliated with a tertiary care hospital. Data were collected through interviews using a validated local-language questionnaire. BPCR was assessed using eight indicators from the Johns Hopkins Program for International Education in Gynaecology and Obstetrics (JHPIEGO) maternal and neonatal health program book. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression estimated odds ratios, with significance set at a 95% confidence interval, Results: Among 380 pregnant women surveyed, 63.7% were well prepared for birth and complications, meeting at least (≥7/8) BPCR indicators, and 54.2% had good ANC knowledge (≥6/8). Socio-demographic factors significantly associated with BPCR outcomes ( Conclusions: Socio-demographic factors like education, occupation, and knowledge during ANC significantly impact BPCR outcomes, and improving these can enhance practices and outcomes for mothers and newborns.
