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: Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (PIH) is a primary contributor to global maternal and perinatal mortality. This study determined the prevalence of PIH and identified its modifiable and non-modifiable determinants among pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in Asella Town, southeast Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2023 across three public health facilities. Systematic random sampling selected 834 pregnant women with a gestational age greater than 20 weeks. Data were collected through structured interviewer-administered and medical chart reviews. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA Software, version 17.0 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX, USA). Variables with a Results: Of 834 sampled individuals, 794 completed the study (95.2% response rate). The PIH prevalence was 5.2% (95% CI: 3.7%, 7.0%). Multivariable analysis identified several factors associated with higher odds of PIH: no formal education (AOR = 5.44, 95% CI: 1.47-20.19), multiple pregnancy (AOR = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.07-12.7), family history of chronic hypertension (AOR = 4.04, 95% CI: 1.51-10.8), presence of edema (AOR = 3.84, 95% CI: 1.37-10.7), and alcohol consumption within the past 12 months (AOR = 6.19, 95% CI: 1.11-34.4). Conversely, receiving nutritional counseling during ANC was associated with reduced odds of developing PIH (AOR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.09-0.79). Conclusions: PIH remains a notable health concern among pregnant women in Asella town, showing prevalence comparable to national averages. The identified factors emphasize the interplay between non-modifiable traits and modifiable behaviors. Strengthening routine ANC services through standardized nutritional counseling may serve as an effective, accessible preventive approach in low-resource primary care settings.
