Determinants of uterovaginal prolapse in Western Ethiopia.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introduction and hypothesisUterovaginal prolapse is a significant public health concern in developing countries like Ethiopia where access to health care is limited. It significantly affects women's health and productivity. Thus, it is very important to identify determinant factors and take preventive actions.
methodsA hospital-based unmatched case-control study was conducted on 86 cases and 258 controls who attended gynecologic outpatient departments in Nekemte town from May 1 to July 30, 2019. Cases were women with grade II, III and IV uterovaginal prolapse while controls were women free from uterovaginal prolapse but with other gynecologic diseases. Data were collected using pretested interviewer-administered questionnaires, and measurements on height and weight were taken to calculate the women's body mass index. Data were entered using Epi Data version 3.1, and analysis was carried out by SPSS version 20. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were performed. The adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used, and statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05.
resultsThis study revealed age ≥ 40 years (AOR = 10.49; 95% CI: 4.03, 27.35), duration of labor ≥ 24 h (AOR = 8.32; 95% CI: 3.58, 19.33), instrumental delivery (AOR = 7.40; 95% CI: 1.21, 45.28), non- utilization of family planning (AOR = 3.14; 95% CI: 1.32, 7.47) and underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m
conclusionAge ≥ 40 years, prolonged labor, instrumental delivery, non-utilization of family planning and underweight were identified as determinant factors of uterovaginal prolapse. Thus, family planning service utilization and appropriate and timely obstetric care are advisable.
