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: During the past 20 years, there have been 48 million stillbirths worldwide. One of the most common adverse pregnancy outcomes in developing nations, such as Ethiopia, is stillbirth. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the factors that contribute to stillbirths among babies born in Ethiopia's Southwest Shoa Zone. Methods: Three hundred and two research participants were included in the hospital-based unmatched case-control study. The data extraction checklist was used to collect data from the medical records. To identify the determinants of stillbirth, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used. The determinants of the stillbirth were identified in the multivariate logistic regression analysis with a Results: A total of 302 maternal charts were reviewed, yielding a 100% response rate. Pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (AOR: 3.3, 95% CI: 1.2-9.2), antepartum hemorrhage (AOR: 5.8, 95% CI: 2.1-15.9), a referral from other health facilities (AOR: 2.8, 95% CI: 1.4-5.3), obstructed labor (AOR: 3.8, 95% CI: 1.9-7.8), duration of labor > 24 h. (AOR: 4.7, 95% CI: 2.3-9.6), gestational age < 37 weeks (AOR: 3.5, 95% CI: 1.7-7.4) and congenital defect (AOR: 6.9, 95% CI: 2.4-19.7) were determinants of still birth. Conclusion: This study highlights that obstetric complications, gestational age, congenital abnormalities, and low birth weight were determinants of stillbirth. Addressing these challenges requires early identification and management of high-risk pregnancies through enhanced prenatal screening, strengthening antenatal care services, promoting facility-based deliveries, and equipping healthcare providers with skills to manage complications.
