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
Objectives: Under-five child mortality is the highest in Ethiopia even though it decreased steadily in the last two decades. Hence, this study aimed to identify the risk factors and effects of Health Extension Service on under-five child mortality per mother in Derra district, Ethiopia. Methods: The study used a three-stage sampling technique and a random sample of 446 mothers. Cross-sectional data were collected using a structured interview and analyzed using descriptive and inferential (propensity score and Poisson regression) analysis. Results: One-fourth (23.5%) of mothers experienced at least one under-five child mortality in the last 13 years and the propensity score analysis also indicated that utilizing and model in the Health Extension program reduced under-five child mortality per mother by 29.84% and 15.71%, respectively. The Poisson regression model identified that kebeles, not utilized health extension program (incidence rate ratio 2.25, 95% confidence interval (1.33, 3.85)), not model in health extension program (incidence rate ratio 1.79, 95% confidence interval (1.07, 3.18)), primary educational level (incidence rate ratio 0.14, 95% confidence interval (0.18, 0.91)), mother aged at first birth less than 20 years (incidence rate ratio 1.82, 95% confidence interval (1.90, 3.05)), source of drinking water not pipped (incidence rate ratio 2.36, 95% confidence interval (1.20, 3.18)), and child delivered at home (incidence rate ratio 2.48, 95% confidence interval (1.26, 4.8)) significantly influence under-five child mortality per mother at 5% level of significance. Conclusion: Health extension service utilization reduced under-five child mortality per mother, and education level, source of drinking water, place of child delivery, and place of residence (kebele) were significant risk factors for under-five child mortality per mother. The health sectors and district health offices should work on health extension program to increase the community awareness of basic preventive and promotive health services and minimize risk factors of under-five child mortality.
