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 and Aim: Malaria poses a major threat to pregnant women in Ghana, especially among marginalized nomadic Fulani communities. This study examined factors influencing insecticide-treated net (ITN) ownership and use among Fulani pregnant women in northern Ghana. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out between April and June 2022 among Fulani pregnant women in the West Gonja Municipality. Recruitment combined a limited community census with peer-assisted snowball sampling to capture this mobile population. Data were collected through structured, face-to-face interviews in local languages after obtaining informed consent. Multivariable binary logistic regression was applied to identify factors associated with ITN ownership and, among owners, predictors of utilization. Statistical significance was set at Results: Of 159 participants, 54.7% ( Conclusions: ITN ownership and use among Fulani pregnant women were far below national and global targets. Possession did not translate into consistent use. Strengthened health education and tailored, mobile-responsive distribution strategies are essential to improve malaria prevention in this underserved population.
