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 and Aims: Anemia in pregnancy (AiP) remains a public health concern in Ghana. The Bono East Region is known for a variety of maternal morbidities, yet the association between inadequate intake of iron-rich foods and AiP remains underexplored. This study assessed the prevalence, nutritional, and nonnutritional correlates of anemia among pregnant women in the Bono East Region. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional design was employed. Data were obtained from 1430 pregnant women using hemoglobin (Hb) assessment and a structured questionnaire. AiP was defined using trimester-specific thresholds of < 11.0 g/dL in the first and third trimesters and < 10.5 g/dL in the second trimester. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression using STATA 17. All statistical tests were two-sided, and significance was established a priori at Results: The study revealed a 63.8% and 72.2% prevalence of kaolin clay consumption and AiP, respectively. Multiple factors were significantly associated with increased odds of AiP, including nonconsumption of selected iron-rich foods such as okra (AOR = 4.49, Conclusion: This study revealed that AiP was shaped by multiple factors. Improving maternal nutrition and strengthening antenatal care services may reduce the burden of AiP in the Bono East Region of Ghana.
