Determinants of premature rupture of membrane among pregnant women in Harar town, Eastern Ethiopia: A case-control study.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Premature rupture of membrane is a disruption of fetal membrane followed by passage of watery fluid gush before the onset of labor any time beyond 28 weeks of gestation. It is a significant cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Many studies were conducted on the pre-labor rupture of membrane, yet limited evidence is available on its determinants. This study aimed to identify determinants of premature rupture of membrane among pregnant women in Harar Town, Eastern Ethiopia. Method: ology; Hospital-based unmatched case control study was conducted on 115 cases and 230 controls from 15th May to 15 Results: Abnormal vaginal discharge [AOR 2.15 (2.53, 22.46), history of cesarean delivery [AOR 2.06 (1.11, 6.78)], history of premature rupture of membrane [AOR 4.62 (2.06, 11.52)] and history of abortion [AOR 2.81 (1.04, 6.23)] increase the odds of the outcome. Conclusion: Bad obstetric histories in the current and previous pregnancies are related to premature rupture of membrane. Therefore, it is recommended that health care providers should take attention to women with past and current pregnancy complications.
