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: The utilization of skilled care before, during, and after childbirth can significantly reduce maternal mortality and save the lives of women and newborns. However, maternal and child mortality remain high and continue to pose a persistent challenge for low-income countries. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify individual- and community-level factors associated with institutional delivery in Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study design with two-stage clustered sampling was employed using data from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) to identify individual- and community-level factors associated with institutional delivery in Ethiopia. The study included 643 clusters (communities) and 7,091 women aged 15-49 years. Data were analyzed using two-level mixed-effects logistic regression to estimate the fixed effects of individual- and community-level factors and the random intercept for between-cluster variability, using R software version 3.5.3. Results: In this study, over two-thirds (68%) of women gave birth at home. Institutional delivery was more likely among women with higher education, greater household wealth, frequent antenatal care attendance, and partners with secondary education. Conversely, it was less likely among women with more children and those perceiving long distances to health facilities as a barrier. At the community level, higher average education, media exposure, and recent use of health services were associated with greater institutional delivery use, while rural residence, perceived distance barriers, and regional disparities were linked to lower use. Conclusions: Both individual- and community-level factors were significantly associated with institutional delivery, in both positive and negative directions. Therefore, the Government of Ethiopia and relevant stakeholders should give due attention to the key factors identified in this study.
