Survival time discrepancy among under-five-year children of rural parts of Ethiopia.
Article in Journal of research in health sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundEthiopia is ranked as the fifth of heavy under-five death burdened countries with the highest burden in its rural areas. This study aimed to identify the determinants of under-five deaths in rural parts of Ethiopia. STUDY
designA population-based cross-sectional study.
methodsThe data for this study was extracted from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. Descriptive analysis, non-parametric estimation, and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to examine the determinants of under-five mortality.
resultsA total of 7301 under-five eligible children from rural areas were involved in this survey, and 6.5% of the cases were passed away before reaching their fifth birthday. Male children's death accounted for 59.7% of the death rate in the participants. An estimated median survival time was 31 months [95% CI: 30-32]. About 83% of children's death occurred among children delivered at home. Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that gender, delivery-place, family-size, mother's education, number of children, contraceptive use, and source of drinking water had significant effects on survival time of under-five children. Under-five mortality was significantly fewer in female children (HR = 0.728; 95% CI: 0.606-0.875, P = 0.001), children delivered at health facilities (HR = 0.738; 95% CI: 0.572-0.951, P = 0.019), and those from secondary and above educated mothers (HR = 0.464; 95% CI: 0.301-0.714, P = 0.001), compared to the reference category.
conclusionSignificant risk factors were associated with under-five mortality in rural areas. Delivering in health facilities, uses of contraceptives, mother's education, and improvement of infrastructures should be areas of concern to decrease under-five children's deaths.
