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
backgroundKnowledge of the normal variation in AF size may be helpful to cue early diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, cardiac disease, meningitis, degree of dehydration or provide a clue to disorders of neural and skeletal development. However, the data is scarce. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine AF size and associated factors among term neonates on the first day of life born in Jimma University Medical Center (JUMC), Southwest Ethiopia. METHODOLOGY: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was used to consecutively sample term and health newborns. Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, independent samples
resultsThe mean AF size of the study population was 3.018 cm with standard deviation (±SD) of 0.909 cm (range 0.4-5.50cm). A multiple linear regression analysis revealed that neonatal birth weight (B=0.001, 95% CI: 0.000-0.001, p=0.000), crown heel length (B=0.048, 95% CI, 0.018-0.078, p=0.002), labor duration (B= -0.028, p=0.001, 95% CI: -0.45; -0.012), and gender of the neonates (B=-0.275, 95% CI: -.441; -.109, p=0.001) were statistically significantly associated with AF size. In a multiple linear regression analysis AF size was explained by independent variables by 54.3%.
conclusionsAF size of the study population was 3.018 cm with a standard deviation (±SD) of 0.909 cm. Birth weight, crown heel length, duration of labor, and gender of the neonate were significantly associated with AF size.
