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
backgroundStillbirth is one of the adverse outcomes of pregnancy, and it is among the major public health problems in developing countries including Ethiopia. Stillbirth has wide-reaching consequences for parents, care providers, community and society at large. PURPOSE: To assess the determinant of stillbirth among deliveries attended in Bale zone hospitals Southeast Ethiopia.
methodsAn institution-based unmatched case-control study was conducted. Cases were deliveries whose birth outcome was stillbirth and controls were deliveries with live birth. A pretested and structured checklist was used to collect data from a sample of 402 (134 cases and 268 controls). Systematic random sampling was used to recruit samples from a list of charts in the delivery registration book. Data were entered into EpiData version 4.2 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Crude and adjusted odds ratio with 95%CI was calculated and
resultsA total of 402 charts of mothers (134 cases and 268 controls) were included in the analysis. Preceding birth interval <24 months (AOR: 2.991; 95%CI: 1.351-6.621), antenatal visit started at third trimester (AOR: 2.739; 95%CI: 1.048-7.158), referred from other health facility (AOR: 3.215; 95%CI: 1.430-7.229), labor length ≥24 h (AOR: 3.169; 95%CI: 1.241-8.091), presence of meconium stained amniotic fluid (AOR: 2.670; 95%CI: 1.082-6.592) and giving birth to a baby <2500 g (AOR: 3.155; 95%CI: 1.235-8.07) were determinants of stillbirth.
conclusionPreceding birth interval of <24 months, antenatal visit started at third trimester, referred from other health facility, presence of meconium stained amniotic fluid, labor length ≤24 h and giving birth to a baby <2500 g were found the determinants of stillbirth. Intrapartum care, early identification of labor complications and referral system are required.
