Prevalence and Risk Factors of Maternal Anemia Among Pregnant Women in Central Jordan.
Article in Anemia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Maternal anemia remains one of the most significant public health issues, particularly in low-to-middle-income countries. The World Health Organization reported a maternal anemia prevalence of 37% among women of reproductive age; this rate is further inflated in developing countries. This cross-sectional analytical study aimed to estimate the prevalence of maternal anemia and assess its associated risk factors among pregnant women receiving maternity services in central Jordan. Data collection was conducted using validated self-administered questionnaires administered to 297 pregnant women receiving medical care at three medical facilities during the period between August and November of 2023. The questionnaire examined several domains related to maternal anemia, including sociodemographic characteristics, pregnancy profile, reproductive history, nutritional habits, hemoglobin levels, and evaluated the knowledge level of anemia among pregnant women. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), with multivariable logistic regression as the primary inferential model, supplemented by a multilayer perceptron neural network to validate predictor consistency. The models achieved an accuracy of 73.0% and 71.1%, respectively. The results revealed that approximately half of the participants (52.5%) were anemic. A multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the associated risk factors for maternal anemia. Anemia is more likely to develop in later stages of pregnancy (odds ratio [OR] = 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.036-2.771) and among women with a high number of abortions (OR = 6.33, 95% [CI] 1.314-13.515), whereas the use of nutritional supplements was a protective factor (OR = 0.104, 95% [CI] 0.013-0.858). These results highlight the urgent need for strengthened antenatal screening protocols and targeted nutritional interventions, particularly for women in later stages of pregnancy and those with a history of abortions.
