Utilization and factors associated with health facility delivery among women of reproductive age in rural Ethiopia: Mixed effect logistic regression analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundWorldwide over 800 women lose their life each day from complication in pregnancy and child birth. Health facility delivery is one of the key strategies for reducing maternal mortality and for ensuring safe birth. Inequity by urban-rural residence is one of the most pronounced challenges in maternal health service coverage with women living in rural areas at a greater disadvantage than other women. This study aims to assess the magnitude and factors affecting the utilization of health facility delivery for the most recent live birth among women of reproductive age in rural Ethiopia.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study based on a data from Ethiopian Mini Demographic and Health Survey 2019 dataset with a total weighted sample of 2900 women of reproductive age group in rural Ethiopia. Data cleaning, coding and labeling were done using STATA version 14 software. Multilevel mixed effect logistic regression model was employed to identify associated factors.
resultOnly 44% of reproductive-age women in rural Ethiopia gave their most recent live birth in health institutions. In the multivariable multilevel binary logistic regression analysis; educational status, wealth index, attending 4+ANC, and had ANC from skilled provider were found to be statistically significant factors associated with health facility delivery.
conclusionIn a rural part of Ethiopia, the prevalence of institutional delivery is low. Especial emphasis should be given for mothers with no formal education, and poor household wealth index, Furthermore, implementing public health programs that target to enable women to have more frequent Antenatal Care follow-up from skilled providers may increase the number of health facility deliveries.
