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
objectiveEach year, about 15 million babies in the world are born too prematurely. Complication of preterm birth is the single largest direct cause of neonatal deaths and the second most common cause of under-5 deaths after infection. Therefore, assessing the proportion of preterm birth and associated factors among Mothers who gave Birth in Debretabor town health institutions have a paramount importance in designing an effective strategy to intervene.
resultIn this study preterm birth was 12.8%. Obstetric complication [AOR = 6.6, 95% CI (3.4-12.6)], maternal Mid Upper Arm Circumference less than 24 cm [AOR = 2.6, 95% CI (1.1-6.1)], antenatal care follow up < 4 visits [AOR = 3.0, 95% CI (1.6-5.9)], being HIV positive [AOR = 5.1, 95% CI (1.7-15.4)], Premature Rupture Of membrane [AOR = 3.0, 95% CI (1.5-6.2)], and being Anemic [AOR = 2.9, 95% CI (1.3-6.6)] were found to be statistically significant. Proportion of preterm birth was high in Debretabor town. Timely identification of obstetric complications and health education to improve antenatal care utilization will minimize the proportion of preterm birth.
