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
Background: A short birth interval is a critical factor that contributes to a large number of maternal and infant mortality in low- and middle-income countries. It is the major cause of maternal and child mortality in Ethiopia. This study aimed to explore the spatiotemporal distribution of short birth intervals in Ethiopia using data from four (2000, 2005, 2011, and 2016) consecutive demographic and health surveys. Methods: A total of 34,930 women were included in four consecutive Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS). Thus, spatial autocorrelation, hotspot analysis, cluster analysis, and spatial interpolation were carried out for each survey separately to show the geographical and temporal pattern of at-risk areas for short birth intervals in Ethiopia. Finally, the highest proportion of short birth interval risk areas in each survey period was mapped. Geospatial analysis was conducted by using ArcGIS V.10.8 and R version 4.2. Results: The results of the study indicated that the overall proportion of short birth intervals of women in Ethiopia was highest in 2000 (47.5%), 2005 (46.4%), 2011 (44.7%), and the lowest in 2016 (44.0%). The values for Global Moran's I (MI = 0.177665 Conclusion: Spatial distribution of short birth intervals differs across Ethiopian administrative zones. Survival status of the index child being dead, rural residential, and no breastfeeding practice are the risk factors for short birth intervals of women that increase the risk of a short birth interval among women in all the EDHS years. Therefore, the hotspot areas and indicators need interventions to decrease the short birth interval of women.
