Neonatal Survival and Predictors of Mortality Among Neonates Admitted at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Ethiopia: A Prospective Cohort 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
Introduction: Globally, neonatal mortality remains a significant challenge, with Sub-Saharan Africa bearing the highest burden. Ethiopia ranks among countries with the highest neonatal mortality rates, but limited data exist on timing and predictors of neonatal deaths in the study setting. Objectives: To assess neonatal survival and identify predictors of mortality among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 504 neonates admitted to NICU. Adjusted hazard ratios (AHRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate associations between potential predictors and mortality. Results: At study end, 23.6% (95% CI: 19.8, 27.4) of neonates died, with a mortality rate of 35.5 per 1,000 neonate-days. Neonatal survival declined from 90% on day 1 to 66% by day 28. Significant predictors of mortality included lack of antenatal care (ANC) (AHR = 3.09), failure to cry immediately at birth (AHR = 2.61), respiratory distress syndrome (AHR = 6.96), and meconium aspiration syndrome (AHR = 9.16). Conclusion: Neonatal mortality remains high in the study setting. Strengthening maternal and neonatal care, especially ANC and institutional delivery, is vital to improve neonatal survival.
