Determinants of mother to child HIV transmission (HIV MTCT); a case control study in governmental health centers of East Gojjam Zone, Northwest Ethiopia, 2019.

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
backgroundMother to child human immune virus (HIV) transmission is the passage of HIV from mother to her child during pregnancy, labor, delivery or breast-feeding. The objective of this study was to identify determinants of mother to child HIV transmission among HIV exposed infants who were born from HIV positive mothers at Governmental health centers of East Gojjam Zone, Northwestern Ethiopia, 2019.
methodsA case-control study was conducted on 210(42 cases and 168 controls) from April 1 to 30/ 2019. All cases were included in the study. Controls were selected by simple random sampling. Secondary data were extracted by using checklists from the document of 8 health centers ART register book, antenatal care (ANC) follow up register book, PMTCT service registration log book charts and infant dried blood sample (DBS) tally sheets. After Bivariable logistic regression analysis, all variables with p-value [Formula: see text] 0.25 were entered into multivariable logistic regression and p value < 0.05 considered as significantly associated with the outcome variable.
resultsHIV exposed infants who were being rural dweller versus (vs) those infants who were being urban dweller [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.73; 95% CI; 1.27-10.69], have no history of antenatal care follow up of HIV exposed infants' HIV positive mothers versus (vs) those mothers who have been having history of ANC follow up [ AOR = 5.0;95%CI; 2.02-12.16] and initial CD4 count of HIV infants' mothers [Formula: see text] vs those mothers whose CD4 > 350 [AOR = 2.7;95%CI;1.35-5.52] were significantly associated with HIV infection.
conclusionMother to child HIV transmission was significantly associated with history of ANC follow up of exposed infants' mothers and initial CD4 counts of mothers. Strong effort should be made to further increase the ANC service utilization of HIV positive pregnant women.
