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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the relationships between pregnant women's knowledge and attitudes regarding preconception care and their adaptation to pregnancy.
methodThis cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between 26 December 2023 and 31 July 2024, with 388 pregnant women aged 18-45 who attended the gynecology outpatient clinic of a hospital in the Central Aegean Region of Türkiye. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, the Preconception Knowledge and Attitude Scale (PKAS), and the Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire (PSEQ). Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha coefficients, and Pearson correlation analysis were used, with significance set at p < 0.05.
resultsNearly half of the participants (48.5%) received preconception care/counseling, mainly on folic acid and vaccination. Significant negative correlations were found between the two scales and their subscales (p < 0.05). Since lower scores on the PSEQ scale indicate a higher level of adjustment to pregnancy, these findings indicate that higher preconception knowledge and attitudes are associated with better adaptation to pregnancy.
conclusionThe findings indicate that higher levels of preconception knowledge and attitudes enhance adaptation to pregnancy and underscore the importance of preconception care for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
