Proportion and factors associated with low fifth minute Apgar score among singleton newborn babies in Gondar University referral hospital; North West Ethiopia.
Article in African health sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
back groundNew born babies with low Apgar scores are at an increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
objectiveTo assess proportion and factors associated with low 5
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on singleton 261 live births from March - May, 2013. Data was collected from mother/newborn index using a structured and pre-tested questionnaire. It was then cleaned, coded and entered using EPI INFO version 3.4.3, then analyzed with IBM SPSS statistics versions 20.0. Logistic regression was used to identify significant variables with low 5
resultThe proportion of low 5
conclusionMainly obstetric factors contribute to low Apgar score. Improving labor management through implementing regular use of partograph, 1:1 midwife-client ratio and advanced electronic fetal monitoring technology is recommended.
