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: The most prevalent nutritional deficiency experienced by pregnant women is anemia, which is defined as a hemoglobin level below 11 g/dl in a pregnant woman. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of anemia and identifying its associated factors among pregnant women in Kigeme Camp, Rwanda. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative approach was used. Two hundred twenty one participants were chosen by a systematic sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to collect data and SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis. A p-value of 5% or less was set for significance. Multivariable analysis was utilized to identify the factors associated to anemia. Results: The anemia prevalence among pregnant women in Kigeme Refugee Camp was 20.8%. Not eating variety of food (AOR= 4.72, 95%CI: 1.77-12.57, p=0.002), sleeping hungry (AOR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.27-0.73, p=0.001), iron/folic acid supplementation (AOR=5.83, 95%CI: 2.04-16.68, p=0.001), use of modern contraceptives (AOR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.09-4.10, p=0.025), bleeding during pregnancy (AOR=0.26, 95%CI: 0.17-0.64, p=0.001) and not eating food from animals were significantly associated to the occurrence of anemia among study participants. Conclusion: The current study's findings will be critical for policymakers in designing strategic interventions; it will provide information necessary for different concerned stakeholders, especially clinicians and policy makers who involve in designing anemia curative and preventive measures.
