Determinants of Cesarean Delivery During Wartime in Atbara, Sudan: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMaintaining an optimal balance in cesarean delivery rates is important to prevent both overuse and underuse of the procedure. Efforts to optimize cesarean delivery rates should consider sociodemographic and obstetric risk factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsA case-control study was conducted on women who gave birth in Atbara Maternity Hospital to assess risk factors associated with cesarean deliveries. A questionnaire and hospital records were used to collect data.
resultsThe cesarean delivery rate during the study period was 406 (39.69%). The study participants were 187 in the case group and 187 in the control group. The multiple regression analysis showed that history of previous cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 43.25, 95% confidence interval (CI): 19.11-97.86, p ˂ 0.001) and rural residence (AOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.01-2.97, p= 0.045) were important determinants of cesarean delivery. Other factors, including age, parity, body mass index, educational level, consanguinity, displacement, maternal employment, number of antenatal care visits, previous history of miscarriage, and newborn birth weight, gender, and outcome, were not associated with cesarean delivery.
conclusionThe history of previous cesarean deliveries and rural residences were the main determinants of cesarean deliveries in this study.
