1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Indigenous women experience a disproportionate burden of adverse perinatal health outcomes, yet the extent and nature of health promotion interventions addressing modifiable behavioural and social determinants remain poorly synthesised. This scoping review mapped smoking, nutrition, alcohol, physical exercise, and social and emotional wellbeing (SNAPS(o))-related perinatal health promotion programs delivered through Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), supplemented by relevant peer-reviewed evidence identified across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. A two-phase design looked at peer-reviewed literature from January 2010 to January 2025 across PubMed, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library, followed by a structured review of Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO) websites in Australia (
