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.

Abstract
Background: India accounts for more than one fifth of all maternal deaths from causes related to pregnancy and child birth worldwide. Information about reasons for delivering at home is important for health planning to design appropriate maternity services. The present study aimed to find out various reasons for home delivery among mothers in Gujarat. Materials and Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in rural and urban areas of Vadodara district during April 2017 to July 2017. Mothers delivered at home were interviewed by using semistructured questionnaires through house-to-house visits. Self-reported reasons for home deliveries by mothers were found out. The study findings were presented using descriptive statistics, and association was found with Chi-square test. Results: The common reasons cited for home deliveries include "all happened suddenly" (50.9%), "delay in transportation" (13.1%), and "no escorts available" (11.6%). The rest of other reasons contributed to 24.4% of home deliveries. On comparison of reasons for home deliveries between urban and rural areas, "all happened suddenly" was found more in urban (66.7%) than in rural (38.4%) areas ( Conclusion: This study highlighted important reasons for home deliveries such as "all happened suddenly," "delay in transportation," "no escorts available." So, it is recommended that appropriate maternity services should be designed and emergency ambulance services should be strengthened.
