1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundProper utilization of integrated community case management service has a significant contribution in reducing the under-five children mortality. However, the utilization of integrated community case management service is low especially in developing countries like Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was planned to assess the utilization of integrated community case management service and associated factors among mother/caregivers who have sick children aged 2-59 months in Boloso Sore Woreda, Southern Ethiopia.

methodsCommunity-based cross-sectional study design was done from January 15-February 15, 2018. Face to face interview was conducted using pre-tested structured questionnaire. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis were carried out to assess the association between independent and outcome variables. Odds ratio along with 95% confidence interval and p-value <0.05 were estimated to measure the strength of the association and statistical significance.

resultsThe magnitude of the utilization of integrated community case management service was 25.3%. Mothers/caregiver's education of secondary and above (AOR=4.15, 95% CI: 1.94-8.90), mothers/caregivers having good knowledge about childhood illness (AOR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.08-3.69), the previous visit of mothers/caregivers to health post (AOR=2.92, 95% CI: 1.01-8.54), short distance to health post (AOR=2.42, 95% CI: 1.02-5.76), the child with cough (AOR=2.52, 95% CI: 1.13-5.63) and mother's/caregiver's perception of high severity of illness (AOR=2.51, 95% CI: 1.19-5.27) were significantly associated with utilization of integrated community case management service.

conclusionThe magnitude of the utilization of integrated community case management was low in the study area. Mother/caregiver's education of secondary and above, having good knowledge of childhood illness, history of mother's/caretaker's visit to the health post, short distance to the health post, and perceived high severity of disease and presence of cough were factors significantly determining service utilization. Therefore, health education should be provided to mothers by Health Extension Workers, community leaders, and organizations.
