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
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can cause adverse birth outcomes and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. One U.S. study identified a slight increasing trend in alcohol consumption during pregnancy from 2011 to 2018. During 2018-2020, 13.5% of pregnant women reported current drinking; more recent estimates are unavailable. CDC analyzed 2021-2024 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data to estimate prevalence of self-reported current drinking (one or more alcoholic drinks during the past 30 days), binge drinking (four or more alcoholic drinks on at least one occasion during the past 30 days), and heavy drinking (eight or more alcoholic drinks within 1 week during the past 30 days) among U.S. pregnant women aged 18-49 years. Multivariable regression was used to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios and identify correlates of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Among U.S. pregnant women, 15.2% reported current drinking, 4.9% reported binge drinking, and 2.2% reported heavy drinking during the past 30 days. Higher prevalences of alcohol consumption were observed among pregnant women who were not married and those with frequent mental distress. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy remains a public health concern. Both clinical and community interventions might help reduce alcohol consumption during pregnancy and its associated adverse health outcomes.
