Admission Hypothermia and Neonatal Mortality in the Ethiopian Neonatal Network.
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 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: Admission hypothermia remains a problem in low-income countries. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the association between admission hypothermia (<36.5°C) and neonatal mortality for newborns discharged from neonatal units at 20 Ethiopian hospitals in 2021. Results: Among 12 363 newborns, 51.6% were admitted with hypothermia. Predictors for hypothermia and mortality included multiple birth, low birth weight, lower gestational age, and congenital anomalies. In a multivariable analysis, risk for mortality increased for infants admitted at <33.9°C [aRR 2.39 (95% CI: 1.66, 3.45)], 34.0°C to 34.9°C [aRR 2.45 (95% CI: 1.88, 3.20)], 35.0°C to 35.9°C [aRR 2.00 (95% CI: 1.46, 2.74)], and 36.0°C to 36.4°C [aRR 1.59 (95% CI: 1.24, 2.04)], compared to infants admitted at 36.5°C to 37.5°C. Conclusions: Admission hypothermia was associated with a twofold increased risk of death. To address hypothermia, basic essential newborn care, proper warm intra-facility transportation, improved infrastructure and equipment, and skin-to-skin care should be prioritized.
