Association between obstetric and medical risk factors and stillbirths in a low-income urban setting.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 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
objectiveTo evaluate the association between obstetric and medical risk factors and stillbirths in a Kenyan set-up.
methodsA case-control study was conducted in four hospitals between August 2018 and April 2019. Two hundred and fourteen women with stillbirths and 428 with live births at more than >28 weeks of gestation were enrolled. Data collection was via interviews and abstraction from medical records. Outcome variables were stillbirth and live birth; exposure variables were sociodemographic characteristics, and medical and obstetric factors. The two-sample t test and χ
resultsStillbirth was associated with pre-eclampsia without severe features (odds ratio [OR] 9.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.6-32.5), pre-eclampsia with severe features (OR 7.4, 95% CI 2.4-22.8); eclampsia (OR 9.2, 95% CI 2.6-32.5), placenta previa (OR 8.6 95% CI 2.8-25.9), placental abruption (OR 6.9 95% CI 2.2-21.3), preterm delivery(OR 9.5, 95% CI 5.7-16), and gestational diabetes mellitus, (OR 11.5, 95% CI 2.5-52.6). Stillbirth was not associated with multiparity, anemia, and HIV.
conclusionProper antepartum care and surveillance to identify and manage medical and obstetric conditions with the potential to cause stillbirth are recommended.
