Socio-demographic determinants of neonatal mortality in Algeria according to MICS4 data (2012-2013).
Article in African health sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundNeonatal mortality remains a public health problem in developing countries, including Algeria. Information on this indicator makes it possible to assess government efforts to improve the living conditions of target populations.
objectivesThis study aims to identify some determinants associated with this mortality from data of multiple indicator cluster survey conducted in Algeria in 2012-2013 (mics 4).
methodsA retrospective case-control study including 1047 cases and 1041 controls. From a logistic regression model, we appreciated the role of different factors, socio-demographic, economic and geographic (Mother's age, level of education, wealth index, area of residence) in newborn survival.
resultsThe main factors associated with neonatal mortality were rural residence (p<0.01; OR= 1.3; CI 1.08-1.54), South geographical area (p<0.05; OR=1.5; CI 1.18-1.84), low education level of mother (p<0.01; OR= 2.10; CI 1.35- 3.29), early age of maternal procreation (p<0.001; OR=4.34; CI 2.19- 14.40), the birth rank "7 and over" (<0.01; OR = 1.57; CI 1.13 - 2.44) and the two lowest wealth indices (p <0.001; OR = 2; 1.45-2.62 and p <0.01; OR = 1.66; CI 1.23-2.26).
conclusionIn addition to the various reproductive health strategies already adopted by the authorities for health promotion and family planning, action should be taken to evaluate their implementation with sustained assistance for disadvantaged people and in risk areas.
