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
Preconception care (PCC) is an important prevention strategy in primary health care to optimize maternal and fetal health outcomes by addressing pre-pregnancy risks. Although it is beneficial, utilization rates remain very low among women of reproductive age (WRA) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Indonesia. This qualitative study aims to explore perceptions, knowledge, barriers, and implementation strategies related to pre-pregnancy health screening among WRA who utilize PHC. In-depth interviews were conducted on 21 informants recruited by the purposive method from the Primary Health Center (PHC) in Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia. Thematic analysis is used to identify the main themes of the transcribed data. Four main themes emerged that are (1) perceptions of pre-pregnancy screening vary from WRA, (2) knowledge levels that tend to be low about PCC, (3) the existence of barriers to access to services, social stigma and screening time constraints, and (4) the integration of screening services as a strategy to increase service coverage. These findings conclude that negative perceptions, low levels of knowledge and access barriers, social stigma and time constraints are related to the low utilization of preconception health screening. These findings contribute to the improvement of global health status. Future policies are implemented to prioritize stigma reduction, knowledge enhancement and expand access through the integration of pre-pregnancy health screening services with Community Clinic to increase the coverage of PCC.
