Magnitude of fetal macrosomia and its associated factors at public health institutions of Hawassa city, southern Ethiopia.

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
objectivesThis study aimed to determine the magnitude of fetal macrosomia and associated factors at public health institutions of Hawassa city, southern Ethiopia.
resultsIn this study, the magnitude of fetal macrosomia found to be 11.86%. Being a male (AOR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.1-4.2), ≥ 37 weeks gestational age (AOR = 6.0, 95% CI 3.1-11.1) and having previous history of fetal macrosomia (AOR = 14.5, 95% CI 7.2-29.2) had a higher odds of fetal macrosomia. Moreover, the magnitude of fetal macrosomia is found be in the global range. Sex of the child, previous history of fetal macrosomia and gestational age were significantly associated with fetal macrosomia. The obstetric care providers should assess all pregnant women for history of fetal macrosomia which would help them to be prepared for the managements of maternal and perinatal complications.
