The three obstetrics delays determine uterine rupture at Nekemte specialized hospital: a hospital-based case-control study.

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
Uterine rupture is a significant public health issue in low- and middle-income nations, such as Ethiopia. Although it is uncommon in Ethiopia, it causes severe health issues for both the mother and the child. It is still linked to poor, severe outcomes for both mothers and fetuses, despite efforts by the Ethiopian government and nongovernmental organizations to improve the country’s healthcare infrastructure. The study’s purpose was to determine the factors that lead to uterine rupture, with an emphasis on obstetric delays at Nekemte Specialized Hospital. An unmatched case-control study design was employed. The study was conducted among 470 women. A data collection tool containing available variables was designed to extract data from logbooks, client cards, and face-to-face interviews. Data were entered into EPI-Info-7 and exported to SPSS 27 for cleaning and analysis. The study participants were characterized using descriptive statistics. The associations between uterine rupture and independent variables were modelled using binary logistic regression analysis. The association between independent variables and uterine rupture was estimated using odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. The statistical significance of the association was declared at P-value < 0.05. In this study, the determinants of uterine rupture were being grand multiparous (AOR = 2.98; 95% CI: 1.31, 6.79) having a history of abortion (AOR = 3.27; 95% CI: 1.24, 8.63), having a history of cesarean section (AOR = 2.76; 95% CI: 1.26, 6.02), being referred (AOR = 2.45; 95% CI: 1.13, 5.43), having transportation problems (AOR = 5.83; 95%CI: 2.61, 13.03), and waiting more than 30 min after arriving to receive the services (AOR = 17.30; 95% CI: 7.38, 40.57). Women who travelled more than 60 min by foot to get the health posts had a 74% lower risk of experiencing uterine rupture (AOR = 0.26; 95%CI: 0.10, 0.64). The study highlights factors affecting uterine rupture risk, including delays, grand multiparity, abortion history, referral status, and transportation issues. It suggests a multifaceted approach, including shorter wait times, improved transportation, and enhanced prenatal care, especially for women with multiple births, abortions, or cesarean sections.
