Associated neonatal and maternal factors of osteopenia of prematurity in low resource setting: A cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveDetermining neonatal and maternal factors that are associated with the incidence of OFP.
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional design, in which the participants were identified for clinical variables (sex, gestational age, birth weight, etc.), neonatal morbidity (sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), etc.), and maternal risk factors (premature rupture of membranes, preeclampsia, etc.). The data were analyzed using Chi-square test, independent
resultsThe birth weight ranged from 800 to 1495 g (1219 ± 225 g), of which 5 newborns (17%) were <1000 g. The gestational age ranged from 27 to 32 weeks, with a mean of 29 ± 1.5 weeks. The signs of OFP were observed in 13 (43%) infants, of which 2 (15%) OFP infants had a birth weight <1000 g. There was significant difference in parenteral nutrition duration (
conclusionThe lack of phosphate intake, prolonged parenteral nutrition, ALP level >500 U/L, onset of vitamin D supplementation, and premature rupture of membranes are associated with the incidence of OFP.
