Determinants of Skilled Birth Attendant Utilization at Chelia District, West Ethiopia.
Article in International journal of reproductive medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundAn estimated 303,000 maternal deaths occurred globally in 2015 from which sub-Saharan Africa alone accounted for 201,000 (66%) of the maternal deaths, and most of these are attributed to complications of pregnancy and childbirth due to the absence of institutional delivery by skilled attendants.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess institutional delivery utilization and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in the last one year in Chelia District.
resultsAmong the respondents, 216 (46.2%) utilized institutional delivery service. Monthly income (AOR = 4.465, 95%CI = 1.729, 11.527), antenatal care attendance (AOR = 0.077, 95%CI = 0.008, 0.73), knowledge of mothers about their expected date of delivery (AOR = 0.297, 95%CI = 0.179, 4.93), intended pregnancy (AOR = 0.326, 95%CI = 0.162, 0.654), discussion with health extension workers about the place of delivery at home visit (AOR = 0.11, 95%CI = 0.023, 0.523), knowledge of mothers about the existence of the waiting area in health facilities (AOR = 0.14, 95%CI = 0.023, 0.84), and number of children (AOR = 0.119, 95%CI = 0.029, 0.485) had a significant association with institutional delivery utilization.
conclusionUtilization of institutional delivery was low and far away from the expected country target in the district. The health sector should strive to increase proportion of institutional delivery by reaching pregnant mothers with timely antenatal care service provision and enhancing family planning provision.
