Intra-partum fever and cerebral palsy in Khartoum, Sudan.
Article in BMC research notes, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04940091 (Association Between the Effect of Epidural Analgesia and the Development of Maternal Fever During Labor), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundCerebral palsy (CP) is a major cause of childhood disability. There are various maternal and neonatal predictors associated with the development of CP, and they are variable across different populations. This case-control study was designed to investigate maternal and neonatal predictors of CP at Khartoum pediatric neurology clinics. Data (maternal sociodemographic characteristics and neonatal expected predictors) were collected from mothers of children with CP and healthy controls using questionnaires.
resultsOne hundred and eleven cases of CP and 222 controls were included. Spastic CP was the most common type (69.4%). In logistic regression, maternal age, parity, birth weight, and sex were not associated with CP. However, maternal fever (OR = 8.4, CI = 2.3-30.5; P = 0.001), previous neonatal death (OR = 5.4, CI = 1.8-16.2; P = 0.003), and poor sucking (OR = 30.5, CI = 10.0-93.1; P < 0.001) were predictors of CP.
conclusionsFever during labor is a significant risk factor for developing CP in children. Further efforts are required for labor management to prevent CP in this setting.
