Labor pain control and associated factors among women who gave birth at Leku primary hospital, 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
objectiveTo assess labor pain control and associated factors among women who give birth at Leku primary hospital, southern Ethiopia, 2018/19. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 404 mothers who gave birth at Leku hospital during the data collection period. Data were collected by two first degree midwives immediately after delivery using Labor Agentry Scale (LAS).
resultsIn this study, 404 mothers were participated making the response rate of 100%. Among the participants, 104 (25.7%) of mothers reported Mild control of labor pain. Maternal age of 19 to 24 year AOR = 5.85 (95% CI 2.14, 15.98), being farmer AOR = 2.5 (1.14, 5.57), primi-para AOR = 0.13 (0.06, 0.3), good family support AOR = 2.8 (1.49, 5.3), short duration of labor (< 12 h) AOR = 3.2 (1.65, 6.23) and history of pregnancy loss AOR = 0.06 (0.03, 0.14) were significantly associated with greater control of labor pain. In general, compared to other studies, the level of labor pain control is good in this study area. Enhancing factors of labor pain control have to be strengthened to increase greater control of labor pain. Qualitative research is highly recommended to identify cultural factors related to labor pain control and management.
