Survival Status and Predictors of Mortality Among Preterm Neonates Admitted to Mizan Tepi University Teaching Hospital, South West Ethiopia.
Article in Pediatric health, medicine and therapeutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
objectiveThe main objective of this study was to assess survival status and predictors of mortality among preterm neonates admitted to Mizan Tepi University Teaching Hospital. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on 568 randomly selected neonates. All preterm neonates admitted in NICU from May 9, 2016 to December 30, 2019 were the source population. Data were extracted from medical chart and entered to EpiData version 4.4.2.1 and analyzed by STATA version 14. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariable analyses were done in a Cox regression model. Variables with
resultsOut of 568 preterm neonates, 199 (35%) died with an incidence rate of 62.15 (54.09-71.41) deaths per 1000 person-day-observations with median survival time of 15 days. Vaginal mode of delivery (adjusted hazard ratio, AHR: 1.78, 95%CI: 1.05-3.08), non-cephalic presentation (AHR:1.8, 95%CI: 1.04-3.06), born from mothers with no ANC follow-up (AHR: 1.9, 95%CI: 1.29-3.01), fifth minute APGAR score <7 (AHR: 1.87, 95%CI: 1.31-2.68), RDS (AHR: 1.74, 95%CI: 1.28-2.36), did not receive KMC (AHR: 1.45, (95%CI: 1.06-1.98), did not cry immediately after birth (AHR: 2.81, 95%CI: 2.03-3.93)), VLBW (AHR: 2.67, 95%CI: 1.29-5.53), low birth weight (AHR: 2.24, 95%CI: 1.15-4.39), and hypothermia (AHR: 1.36, 95%CI: 1-1.84) were significantly associated with preterm mortality.
conclusionPreterm neonatal mortality was high and the predictors were almost all preventable and treatable. Therefore, emphasis should be given toward prevention and early anticipation, and management of these predictors.
