Home delivery among women who receive antenatal care in Ethiopia, design-based logistic regression analysis.
Article in BMJ public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: In Ethiopia, a significant proportion of women who receive antenatal care (ANC) deliver at home. This study aims to investigate home delivery among pregnant women who receive ANC during pregnancy in Ethiopia. Increased coverage of ANC is advised to improve institutional delivery, which in turn prevents maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Patients and methods: We used data from the Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia panel study, which followed pregnant women 1 year through post partum. A total of 1749 women who received ANC during pregnancy were included in this study. To identify risk factors associated with home delivery, a design-based binary logistic regression analysis was used. Results: Of 1749 women who received ANC, 515 (29.4%) gave birth at home. Discussions on place of delivery with partner (adjusted OR (AOR)=0.56, 95% CI=0.35 to 0.90); desire to deliver at home (AOR=3.35, 95% CI=2.15 to 5.22); multiple birth readiness topics during ANC visits (AOR=0.39, 95% CI=0.21 to 0.63); and had ANC by a professional healthcare provider (AOR=0.40, 95% CI=0.23 to 0.70) were found to be significant predictors of home delivery. Conclusion: This study found that one-third of women who received ANC gave birth at home. Discussions on place of delivery with partner, birth readiness topics, women's desire for place of delivery and type of ANC provider were found to be independent predictors. Our results indicate for special attention to the evaluation and improvement of health extension workers' competency in ANC delivery, and counselling women on various aspects of birth readiness during ANC visits.
