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
Introduction: Over 300,000 people living in the United States are estimated to have Chagas disease, a condition for which mother to child transmission may occur and early diagnosis is essential to reduce Chagas-related morbidity and mortality. This study evaluated positive Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of cord blood samples donated to the Carolina Cord Blood Bank in North Carolina from July 2007 to December 2023 with evaluation of positive Results: Among 27,444 cord blood donations, 52 samples (0.19%; 1.9 per 1000) had positive Conclusions: Screening at-risk pregnant individuals for Chagas disease who have lived in high incidence areas has the benefits of early identification of infection and treatment in people of reproductive age, their children, and extended family members. A protocolized approach to perinatal screening and linkage to care is essential in overcoming barriers to Chagas diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment.
