Risk Factors of Perinatal Asphyxia Among Newborns Delivered at Public Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Case-Control Study.
Article in Pediatric health, medicine and therapeutics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
backgroundPerinatal asphyxia determines the newborn's future health status and viability with risk factors yet to be completely understood. It measures the status of the healthcare delivery of an organization including antenatal, intranatal, and postnatal care. In Ethiopia, 31.6% of neonatal mortality was attributed to perinatal asphyxia. This study aimed to assess the risk factors of perinatal asphyxia.
methodsAn unmatched case-control study was conducted on 213 (71 cases selected using lottery method and 142 controls systematically) subjects in Addis Ababa from November 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews, entered to Epi data version 4.4, and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Logistic regression was used for analysis. Variables with p< 0.25 in bivariate analysis were taken to multivariable analysis. Statistical significance was declared at P<0.05 and findings were presented using texts and tables.
resultsA total of 210 newborns (70 cases and 140 controls) and their mothers were included with an overall response rate of 98.5%. Antepartum hemorrhage [AOR=7.17; 95% CI 1.73-29.72], low birth weight [AOR=2.87; 95% CI 1.01-8.13], preterm birth [AOR=3.4; 95% CI 1.04-11.16], caesarean section delivery [AOR=2.75; 95% CI 1.01-7.42], instrumental delivery [AOR=4.88; 95% CI 1.35-17.61], fetal distress [AOR=4.77; 95% CI 1.52-14.92] and meconium-stained amniotic fluid [AOR=9.02; 95% CI 2.96-30.24] were significantly associated with perinatal asphyxia. Hence, efforts ought to go to improve the quality of antenatal and intra-natal services.
