Environmental factors affecting the delivery practices of hospital-based intrapartum care.
Article in African journal of primary health care & family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe annual World Health Organization reports confirm over 295 000 maternal deaths globally with most of these occurring during delivery. Interestingly, some studies have established a significant relationship between environmental factors and hospital-based intrapartum care.
aimThis study investigated the associated environmental factors among women presenting for peripartum care at the Ketté District Hospital.
settingThe study was conducted at the Ketté District Hospital.
methodsThis quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at the Ketté District Hospital on women presenting for peripartum care. A convenient sampling was used while a self-administered questionnaire was the data collecting tool to measure environmental factors affecting the delivery practices. Using IBM-SPSS version 29.0, logistic regression served for data analysis with statistical significance considered at p 0.05.
resultsThe study involved 471 women presenting for peripartum care, of whom 325 (69.0%) were aged 18-25 years. Most women, 429 (91.1%), indicated having used earthed road links to the hospital. The majority agreed having suffered complications during delivery. Means of transportation (p = 0.010), number of past pregnancies (p = 0.044), place of delivery (p = 0.001) and delivery outcome (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with delivery complications.
conclusionThe study found that delivery complications were significantly associated with means of transportation to antenatal visit, place of delivery, delivery outcome and number of pregnancies.Contribution: This study contributed to a better understanding of the effects of environmental factors on the utilisation of healthcare services during the intrapartum period in rural communities of Cameroon.
