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 Chorioamnionitis (CA) is a pregnancy complication that can harm both mothers and newborns. This study aimed to assess the awareness and knowledge of CA among women in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire distributed via social media. The study included 702 women who were either currently pregnant or had been pregnant before. Participants answered questions on sociodemographic data, awareness, sources of information, and knowledge about CA. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 27 (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA). Results Among 702 participants, 375 (53.4%) had heard of CA. Awareness was higher among non-Saudis (42, 65.6%) than Saudis (333, 52.2%). Women with postgraduate education (74, 73.3%) were more aware than those with a high school education (35, 40.2%, p<0.001). Awareness was greater among students (30, 73.2%) and employees (208, 60.1%) than housewives (137, 43.5%, p<0.001). Participants with higher income (10,000-20,000 SAR) had better awareness (172, 62.3%) than those earning <3,000 SAR (19, 32.8%, p<0.001). Women with a history of CA were significantly more aware (104, 94.5%) than those without (271, 45.8%, p<0.001). Cesarean section was more common among women with CA (93, 97.9%) than those without (2, 2.1%, p=0.003). Conclusions Despite moderate awareness of CA, misconceptions about its causes and treatment persist. Education, income, and previous pregnancy complications were significant factors influencing knowledge. Health campaigns and improved medical education are needed to enhance understanding and reduce pregnancy-related complications.
