Impact of advanced maternal age on perinatal outcomes in Tanzania: Insights from Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center Birth Registry.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The increasing prevalence of advanced maternal age (AMA) births necessitates the exploration of associated pregnancy outcomes within the healthcare-limited context of northern Tanzania to elucidate potential region-specific risks and implications. This study explored the influence of AMA on pregnancy outcomes in northern Tanzania, where healthcare resources and infrastructure are constrained in comparison to developed countries. This cross-sectional hospital-based study utilized maternally linked data from the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) Medical Registry and included 32,798 women who delivered single infants between 2004 and 2013. Multiple logistic regression models were used to determine adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for AMA-associated adverse pregnancy outcomes. A total of 16 % of mothers belonged to AMA with increased odds of undergoing a cesarean section (aOR: 1.32; 95%CI [1.24-1.41];
