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: Maternal mortality remains a critical concern in low-income countries, where low utilization of institutional delivery services is a contributing factor. This study investigates the influence of individual and community-level factors on institutional delivery among women in Somaliland, a region with a high maternal mortality rate. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2020 Somaliland Demographic and Health Survey (SDHS), a nationally representative survey of 3804 women aged 15-49. We employed descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests to examine bivariate associations and multi-level binary logistic regression to assess the impact of individual and community-level factors on the place of delivery. Results: Only 30.8% of deliveries occurred in health institutions. Bivariate analyses showed significant associations between institutional delivery and maternal age, education ( Conclusion: The study highlights the complex interplay of individual and community-level factors influencing the utilization of institutional delivery in Somaliland. Interventions to promote health facility deliveries must address socioeconomic disparities, improve women's education, ensure accessibility of healthcare for nomadic communities, reduce regional variations, promote family planning and reproductive health services, and take into consideration the impact of parity on health seeking behaviors.
