Determinants of unjustified cesarean section in two hospitals southwestern Ethiopia: retrospective record review.
Article in BMC research notes, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe study aimed to identify determinants of unjustified cesarean section in two hospitals southwestern Ethiopia using retrospective record review from January 2015 to January 2016.
resultA total of 727 charts were included in the analysis. About 25% of the study participants had delivered by cesarean section in 1 year. Antenatal care visit (AOR = 0.003, 95% CI 0.00-0.07), labor abnormality (AOR = 10.1, 95% CI 4.61-22.1), and post term pregnancy (AOR = 10.6, 95% CI 4.85-23.1) were significantly associated with cesarean section when compared to their respective counterparts.
