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: to help reduce neonatal mortality in Burkina Faso, we identified the prognostic factors for neonatal mortality at the Sourô Sanou University Hospital. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional and analytical study in the neonatal department from July 25, 2019 to June 25, 2020. Patients' medical records, consultation and hospital records were reviewed. Prognostic factors for neonatal mortality were identified using a Cox model. Results: data from 1128 newborn babies were analysed. Neonatal mortality was 29.8%. Most of these deaths (89%) occurred in the early neonatal period. The mean weight of newborns at the admission was 2,285.8 ± 878.7 and 43.6%. They were at a healthy weight. Four out of five newborns had been hospitalized for infection or prematurity. The place of delivery (HR weight <1000g = 5.45[3.81 -7.79]) and the principal diagnosis (HR asphyxiation= 1.64[1.30-2.08]) were prognostic factors for neonatal mortality. Conclusion: improving technical facilities for the etiological investigation of infections and an efficient management of low-weight newborns suffering from respiratory distress would considerably reduce in-hospital neonatal mortality in Bobo-Dioulasso.
