ASSOCIATION BETWEEN QUALITY OF INTRAPARTUM CARE WITH FRESH STILLBIRTH IN A LOW-INCOME URBAN SETTING.
Article in East African medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Africa bears the greatest burden of stillbirth and yet, there is a paucity of data from this setting. The aim of this study was to determine the association between quality of intrapartum care and fresh stillbirth in Nairobi, Kenya. Methods and materials: This was a case control study in 4 tertiary public hospitals in Nairobi county from August 2018 to April 2019. Two hundred and fourteen women with stillbirths and 428 women with livebirths between 28-42 weeks were enrolled. Fifty-five (55) of the 214 women had fresh stillbirths and were included in this analysis. Information was obtained through interviews and data abstraction from the medical records. The exposure variables were sociodemographics, refferal status, intrapartum complications, partogram use and fetal heart rate monitoring. The two-sample t-test was used to compare continuous variables and Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests for categorical variables. The association between exposure and outcome variables was done using bivariate and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Statistical significance was defined as a two-tailed p-value ≤ 0.05. Results: Refferal (OR 3.4, 95 % CI 1.9-6.03, P=0.001); no use of a partogram (OR 4.7 95% CI 2.6-8.4, P=<0.001); no fetal heart rate monitoring per schedule (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1-4.7, P=0.03), caesarean (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1-3.34, P=0.05) or beech delivery (OR 18, 95% CI=3.2-103, Conclusion: Improving the referral system, intrapartum care and timely caesarean delivery can reduce the risk of fresh stillbirth.
