Determinants of perinatal mortality at tertiary hospitals in East Wollega, Western Ethiopia: a case-control study.

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
objectiveThis study was performed to determine predisposing factors of perinatal mortality among deliveries at tertiary hospitals in East Wollega, Western Ethiopia.
methodsThis institutional-based unmatched retrospective case-control study involved 810 samples (270 perinatal deaths and 540 controls) selected from the study hospitals. For each case, two controls were selected. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Data were entered into EpiData Version 3.1 and exported to SPSS Version 25 for analysis. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were performed. The adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated, and statistical significance was declared at a
resultsThe statistical analysis revealed the following independent determinants of perinatal mortality: rural residence, lack of antenatal care, preterm delivery, induction of labor, presence of obstetric complications, breech presentation, shoulder presentation, low birth weight, congenital malformation, and not using a partograph.
conclusionGiven the determinant factors of perinatal mortality in the study area, health facilities are recommended to implement appropriate antenatal care, intrapartum care, and neonatal care to prevent perinatal mortality. They are also advised to use partographs and ensure better access to antenatal care facilities.
