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
Background and Aims: Perinatal asphyxia is the second leading cause of neonatal mortality in sub-Saharan African countries, including Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess survival status and predictors of mortality among neonates admitted to Jimma University Medical Center with perinatal asphyxia. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 373 asphyxiated neonates admitted to Jimma University Medical Center from April 12, 2019, to May 5, 2022. Data were collected from May 18 to June 3, 2022, entered into Epidata version 3.1, and analyzed using R software version 4.2.1. On univariate Cox regression, variables with a Results: The median survival time of the participants was 20 (95% CI: 18-23) days. During 2888 days of total person-time at risk, a 29.09 (95% CI: 23.20-36.01) per 1000 person-days incidence rate of neonatal mortality was identified. The significant predictors of mortality were stage III Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (AHR: 3.46, 95% CI: 1.55-7.70), acute kidney injury (AHR: 2.82, 95% CI: 1.28-6.23), and stress ulcers (AHR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.26-3.97). Conclusion: The incidence of mortality was relatively high among the study participants. Stage III Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, acute kidney injury, and stress ulcers were significant predictors.
