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: Despite measures, malaria in pregnancy is still reported. It results in maternal illness, anaemia, low birth weight, preterm delivery and both maternal and foetal death. Aim: To determine the prevalence and density of malaria parasitaemia and identify the associated factors among pregnant women. Setting: This was a hospital-based study in two health facilities in Dschang, Western Cameroon. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographics clinical manifestations, environmental factors and prevention measures used. Parasitological tests were carried out using thick and thin blood smears. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 22.0. Results: Out of the 314 participants, 46 (14.6%) were positive for malaria parasitaemia, and the only species identified was Conclusion: The prevalence and density of malaria parasite varied with demographics, pregnancy characteristics, clinical manifestations, quality of housing, environmental conditions and malaria prevention methods. Contribution: An update on malaria among pregnant women. Continuous sensitisation on prevention methods is necessary.
