Challenges of PMTCT Service Utilization in Amhara Region: A Comparative Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 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
backgroundGlobally, 370,000 children became newly infected with HIV and an estimated 42,000-60,000 pregnant woman died because of HIV annually. Pediatric HIV infection in 90% of the cases was acquired from their mothers.
methodsComparative cross-sectional study design was implemented. Epi-info software was used to calculate the sample size, and the estimated sample size was 2667 pregnant women. Data were collected using exit interview technique. Descriptive statistical techniques were used to identify the prevalence of PMTCT service utilization and binary logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of PMTCT service utilization.
resultsA total of 2615 respondents were included for a response rate of 98.05%. Only 61.3% of the pregnant women attending ANC in the health facility were utilizing PMTCT services [95% CI: 59 %-63 %]. Around 3.22% of tested pregnant women did not receive their result. PMTCT service utilization was affected by knowledge of PMTCT [AOR 1.87, 95 % CI: 1.53-2.28], residence [AOR 0.67, 95 % CI: 0.51-0.89], internal referral system [AOR 3.06, 95% CI: 2.51-3.72], health professional client interaction [AOR 2.18, 95% CI: 1.75-2.76], fear [AOR 1.23, 95% CI: 1.03-1.47], long waiting time [AOR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.58-0.94], number of ANC visit [AOR 1.79, 95% CI: 1.4-2.29], gravidity [AOR 0.55, 95% CI: 0.46-0.66], educational status [AOR 1.43, 95% CI: 1.04-1.96] and involvement in PMTCT services [AOR 2.57, 95% CI: 1.51-4.4].
conclusionPMTCT service utilization was low in the study area. The presence of internal referral system significantly increases PMTCT service utilization.
