Early neonatal mortality and determinants in Ethiopia: multilevel analysis of Ethiopian demographic and health survey, 2019.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionDespite remarkable achievements in improving maternal and child health, early neonatal deaths still persist, with a sluggish decline in Ethiopia. As a pressing public health issue, it requires frequent and current studies to make appropriate interventions. Therefore, by using the most recent Ethiopian Mini Demographic Health Survey Data of 2019, we aimed to assess the magnitude and factors associated with early neonatal mortality in Ethiopia.
methodsSecondary data analysis was conducted based on the demographic and health survey data conducted in Ethiopia in 2019. A total weighted sample of 5,753 live births was included for this study. A multilevel logistic regression model was used to identify the determinants of early neonatal mortality. The adjusted odds ratio at 95% Cl was computed to assess the strength and significance of the association between explanatory and outcome variables. Factors with a p-value of < 0.05 are declared statistically significant.
resultsThe prevalence of early neonatal mortality in Ethiopia was 26.5 (95% Cl; 22.5-31.08) per 1000 live births. Maternal age 20-35 (AOR, 0.38; 95% Cl, 0.38-0.69), richer wealth index (AOR, 0.47; 95% Cl, 0.23-0.96), having no antenatal care visit (AOR, 1.86; 95% Cl, 1.05-3.30), first birth order (AOR, 3.41; 95% Cl, 1.54-7.56), multiple pregnancy (AOR, 18.5; 95% Cl 8.8-38.9), presence of less than two number of under-five children (AOR, 5.83; 95% Cl, 1.71-19.79) and Somali region (AOR, 3.49; 95% Cl, 1.70-12.52) were significantly associated with early neonatal mortality.
conclusionThis study showed that, in comparison to other developing nations, the nation had a higher rate of early newborn mortality. Thus, programmers and policymakers should adjust their designs and policies in accordance with the needs of newborns and children's health. The Somali region, extreme maternal age, and ANC utilization among expectant moms should all be given special consideration.
