Determinants of Under-Five Mortality in Mozambique: Insights From the Demographic and Health Survey 2022/23.
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 2 papers.
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
Although there has been a substantial drop in the global under-five mortality rate over time, Sub-Saharan African countries, such as Mozambique, are still experiencing a significant burden. Therefore, this study evaluated the determinants of under-five mortality in Mozambique. This study used weighted data from 9668 live births in Mozambique's Demographic and Health Survey. A mixed-effect logistic regression model identified determinants of under-five mortality, with statistical significance based on adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. An under-five mortality rate of 48 per 1000 live births was significantly associated with being female, twin, small at birth, high birth order, and having a short birth interval. While under-five mortality is declining nationally, Mozambique still faces high child deaths. Key determinants include the child's sex, twin births, higher birth order, small birth size, and short birth intervals. Targeted interventions addressing these factors are needed to meet Sustainable. Development Goal targets for child survival.
