Prevalence and Associated Factors for Low Apgar Score in Central Sudan: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with low fifth-minute Apgar scores in central Sudan. Methods: A cross-sectional study (enrolled 438 newborns) was conducted at Wad Medani Hospital, Sudan. A questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic, obstetric, clinical, and neonatal data. Apgar scores were calculated. A multivariate analysis was performed. Results: Thirty-five (8.0%) newborns had low fifth-minute Apgar scores. The multivariate analysis showed that low birth weight was the only factor associated with a low fifth-minute Apgar score (AOR = 17.61; 95% CI: 5.98-51.88). Maternal age, parity, education level, history of miscarriage, residence, maternal body mass index, mode of delivery, maternal anemia, time of the membrane's rupture, color of liquor, and newborn sex were not associated with a low fifth-minute Apgar score. Conclusion: The present study showed that 8.0% of newborns delivered at anonymized peer review had a low fifth-minute Apgar score, which was associated with low birth weight.
