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
backgroundTo reduce maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended eight or more antenatal care (ANC) contacts for pregnant mothers, known as the WHO 2016 ANC model. However, the effectiveness of the model depends on the adherence of pregnant mothers. Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing nonadherence to the 2016 ANC model and the associated factors among delivering and postnatal mothers in southern Ethiopia.
methodAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August 25, 2024, to October 20, 2024, at Dilla University Teaching Hospital, Dilla town, southern Ethiopia. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect data on KoboCollect, and data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 25. A descriptive analysis was conducted and presented in tables, graphs, charts, and bars. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify associations between nonadherence to the 2016 ANC model and other factors. Multivariable analysis at the level of 95% confidence intervals of statistical significance was declared at a p value < 0.05.
resultIn this study, 308 women participated, making a response rate of 95%. The mean age of study participants was 26.16 ± 5.51. Almost half (49.7%) of participants were housewives, 94 (30.5%) of the women attended secondary school, and 160 (51.9%) resided in urban settings. The study revealed that 45.5% (95% CI: 42.12, 56.3) of respondents were nonadherent to the WHO 2016 ANC model. Women who reside in rural settings (AOR: 2.4; 95% CL: 1.14-3.42), having no formal education (AOR: 2.4; 95% CI: 1.009-4.08), women's husbands being the principal income generator of the household (AOR: 2.01; 95% CI: 1.009-4.08), and women's husbands being head of the household (AOR: 11.53; 95% CI: 1.024-38.6) were significantly associated with nonadherence to the WHO 2016 model.
conclusionWe found that nearly half of laboring and postnatal women were nonadherent to the newly recommended WHO 2016 eight-contact ANC model. Therefore, efforts should focus on women's economic empowerment and education, with particular emphasis on raising awareness about the importance of attending frequent ANC visits. Future researchers should consider conducting qualitative studies to better explore the reasons behind nonadherence to ANC.
