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
Inappropriate birth weight for gestational age (IBWGA) is linked with obstetric complications like birth asphyxia, hypothermia, and postpartum hemorrhage. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of IBWGA with factors associated with newborns born at Dessie Referral Hospital, northeast of Ethiopia. We used a retrospective cohort study design and systematic random sampling method to select charts of women giving birth at the hospital from January 2013 to December 2017. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to check the association of selected variables with the outcome variable IBWGA. The prevalence of IBWGA was found to be 145 (34.36%), with 52 (12.32%) and 93 (22.04%) for large for gestational age (LGA) and small for gestational age (SGA), respectively. A higher prevalence of IBWGA was found among women who use substances during pregnancy, such as chewing chat (43, 49.4%), smoking (14, 53.8%), and those with a history of giving birth to an infant with IBWGA (31, 50.0%). Furthermore, maternal age less than 35 years old (
