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: Anemia is one of the most common worldwide public health problems related to pregnancy. However, there is a scarcity of evidence regarding anemia among pregnant women in Somaliland, particularly in Hargeisa city. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and its associated factors of anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal care in health institutions of Hargeisa, Somaliland. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out by involving 402 pregnant women in health institutions of Hargeisa between August 30 and September 30, 2023. Data were collected by four certified midwives using a structured face-to-face interview questionnaire, while four experienced laboratory professionals collected the necessary laboratory samples. A probability proportion to size sampling method was used, followed by simple random selection to select the study participants. The hemoglobin level was measured using the HemoCue 301 System. Data were entered into EpiData Version 4.6 and exported to SPSS Version 26 for analysis. A logistic regression model was fitted to determine the factors associated with anemia. Variables with a Results: Of the 402 pregnant women, 56.2% (95% CI: 51%-61%) of the participants were anemic, of which 20.4% were mild anemia, 32.6% were moderate anemia, and 3.2% were severe anemia. Pregnant women who had no ANC follow-up before the current visit (AOR = 3.42, 95% CI = 1.91, 6.18), pregnant women who did not use iron supplementation (AOR = 3.18, 95% CI = 1.85, 5.48), pregnant women who were in the third trimester (AOR = 3.29, 95% CI = 1.69, 6.42), pregnant women infected with intestinal parasitosis (AOR = 5.12, 95% CI = 1.08, 24.15), and pregnant women who were positive for malaria (AOR = 7.71, 95% CI = 1.81, 32.54) were all significantly associated with maternal anemia. Conclusions: The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in Hargeisa is a significant public health concern, with more than half of the study participants affected.
