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
Globally, more than 20 million newborns are born with low birth weight (LBW) every year. Most of the LBW occurs in low- and middle-income countries. It is the most critical risk of neonate mortality. Therefore, this study aims to identify determinants of low birth weight among women who gave birth in public health facilities in the North Shewa zone. Institutional-based unmatched case-control study was conducted from February to June 2020 to select 180 cases and 380 controls. Interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were entered through EPI Info and exported to Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) for analysis. Text, percentage and tables were used to present data. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to see the association and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence interval (CI), and
