Building a research registry for studying birth complications and outcomes in six Palestinian governmental hospitals.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02427854 (Can Perineal Tears and Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries in Palestine be Prevented? A Study of Two Different Interventions), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundElectronic-health (e-health) provides opportunities for quality improvement of healthcare, but implementation in low and middle income countries is still limited. Our aim was to describe the implementation of a registration (case record form; CRF) for obstetric interventions and childbirth events using e-health in a prospective birth cohort study in Palestine. We also report the completeness and the reliability of the data.
methodsData on maternal and fetal health was collected prospectively for all women admitted to give birth during the period from 1st March 2015 to 31st December 2015 in three governmental hospitals in Gaza and three in the West Bank. Essential indicators were noted in a case registration form (CRF) and subsequently entered into the District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS 2) system. Completeness of registered cases was checked against the monthly hospital birth registries. Reliability (correct information) of DHIS2 registration and entry were checked for 22 selected variables, collected during the first 10 months. In the West Bank, a comparison between our data registration and entry and data obtained from the Ministry of Health patient electronic records was conducted in the three hospitals.
resultsAccording to the hospital birth registries, a total of 34,482 births occurred in the six hospitals during the study period. Data on the mothers and children registered on CRF was almost complete in two hospitals (100% and 99.9%); in the other hospitals the completeness ranged from 72.1% to 98.7%. Eighty birth events were audited for 22 variables in the three hospitals in the West Bank. Out of 1760 registrations in each hospital, the rates of correct data registration ranged from 81% to 93.2% and data entry ranged from 84.5% to 93.1%.
conclusionsThe registered and entered data on birth events in six hospitals was almost complete in five out of six hospitals. The collected data is considered reliable for research purposes.
