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 Ophthalmia neonatorum (ON) is an acute conjunctival inflammation in neonates that may result in serious complications. Despite advances in intranatal and postnatal care practices, ON remains a significant health concern in several low- and middle-income countries. Aim The main aim of this study is to determine the prevalence, associated risk factors, and causative organisms of ON in neonates at a tertiary care hospital in central India. Methods A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted over 24 months. Medical records of 2,682 neonates were reviewed; 2,450 neonates met the inclusion criteria. ON was defined clinically by conjunctival redness, eyelid swelling, or purulent discharge within 28 days of birth. Results Among the 2,450 neonates whose medical records were included in the study, 74 cases of ON were identified, yielding a prevalence of 3.02%. None of the affected neonates developed serious complications or blindness. The strongest predictors of ON included prolonged rupture of membranes (OR 4.56, p < 0.001), out-of-hospital delivery (OR 6.28, p < 0.001), neonatal intubation (OR 4.78, p < 0.001), and inadequate antenatal visits (fewer than three) (OR 3.08, p < 0.001). Other factors, such as prolonged labour, neonatal resuscitation, and use of orogastric feeding tubes, also showed significant associations. The most frequently isolated organism was
