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
introductionChild marriage and adolescent pregnancy are significant public health concerns in Indonesia associated with increased obstetric and perinatal risks. Adequate antenatal care (ANC) is essential to mitigate these risks. The objective of this study was to identify the predictors of adequate ANC utilization by underage mothers in Indonesia, with specific focus on rural-urban disparities. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study utilized the secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. The sample comprised 2927 underage mothers (<20 years) consisting of 1873 rural and 1054 urban residents, who had at least one pregnancy. Adequate ANC was defined in accordance with the Indonesian Ministry of Health guidelines as at least six visits throughout the stages of pregnancy. Data were analyzed using SPSS; descriptive statistics were used to describe the study variables. Chi-square test assessed the associations between ANC utilization and various independent variables. Logistic regression analysis determined the factors associated with adequate ANC, adjusting for potential confounders; separate models were developed for urban and rural subsamples.
resultsOnly 33.0% of underage mothers received adequate ANC and only 6.5% received all 10 essential ANC components. Higher educational attainment, health insurance ownership, and better economic status were significantly associated with likelihood of adequate ANC, particularly in rural areas. Urban residence was marginally associated with higher ANC adequacy (odds ratio = 1.19). Underage mothers with separated marital status were less likely to have adequate ANC utilization, particularly in the urban settings. Knowledge of the danger signs in pregnancy was not significantly associated with ANC adequacy.
conclusionAdequate and comprehensive utilization of ANC by underage mothers in Indonesia remains low, with persistent urban-rural inequalities. There should be targeted, adolescent-friendly interventions that focus on education, insurance coverage, and socioeconomic support, especially for rural and disadvantaged adolescents.
