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: Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe condition that results from reduced oxygen supply and blood flow to the brain, leading to brain injury and potential long-term neurodevelopmental impairments. This study aimed to identify the maternal and neonatal factors associated with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy among Neonates. Methods: The authors conducted a case-control study in 15 public hospitals with 515 neonates and mothers (175 cases and 340 controls). The authors used a questionnaire and clinical records created and managed by Kobo software to collect data. The authors diagnosed hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) by clinical signs and symptoms. The authors used logistic regression to identify HIE factors. Results: Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) was associated with maternal education, ultrasound checkup, gestational age, delivery mode, and labour duration. Illiterate mothers [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)= 1.913, 95% CI: 1.177, 3.109], no ultrasound checkup (AOR= 1.859, 95% CI: 1.073, 3.221), preterm (AOR= 4.467, 95% CI: 1.993, 10.012) or post-term birth (AOR= 2.903, 95% CI: 1.325, 2.903), caesarean section (AOR= 7.569, 95% CI: 4.169, 13.741), and prolonged labour (AOR= 3.591, 95% CI: 2.067, 6.238) increased the incidence of HIE. Conclusion: This study reveals the factors for hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy among neonates in Ethiopia. The authors found that neonates born to illiterate women, those who experienced prolonged labour, those whose mothers did not have ultrasound checkups during pregnancy, those delivered by caesarean section, and those born preterm, or post-term were more likely to develop hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. These findings indicate that enhancing maternal education and healthcare services during pregnancy and delivery may positively reduce hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy among neonates.
