1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundEarly first antenatal care visit is a critical health care service for the well-being of women and newborn babies. However, many women in Ethiopia still start their first antenatal care visit late. We aimed to examine the trend in delayed first antenatal care visit and identify the contributing factors for the trend change in delayed first antenatal care visits in Ethiopia over the study period 2000-2016.

methodWe analyzed the data on reproductive-aged women from the four consecutive Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys to determine the magnitude and trend of delayed first antenatal care visit. A weighted sample of 2146 in 2000, 2051 in 2005, 3368 in 2011, and 4740 women in 2016 EDHS were involved in this study. All statistical analysis was undertaken using STATA 14. Multivariate logistic decomposition analysis was used to analyze the trends of delayed first antenatal care visit over time and the contributing factors to the change in delayed first antenatal care visit.

resultsThe prevalence of delayed first antenatal care visit in Ethiopia decreased significantly from 76.8% (95% CI 75.1-78.6) in 2000 to 67.3% (95% CI 65.9-68.6) in 2016. Decomposition analysis revealed that 39% of the overall change in delayed first antenatal care visit overtime was due to differences in women's composition, whereas 61% was due to women's behavioral changes. In this study, residence, husband's education, maternal occupation, ever told about pregnancy complications, cesarean delivery and family sizes were significantly contributing factors for the decline in delayed first antenatal care visit over the study periods.

conclusionThe prevalence of delayed first antenatal care visit in Ethiopia among women decreased significantly over time. More than halves (61%) decline in delayed first antenatal care visits was due to women's behavioral changes. Public health interventions targeting rural residents, poor household economic status and improving awareness about pregnancy-related complications would help to reduce the prevalence of delayed first antenatal care visit.
