Mistreatment during childbirth and its associated factors during facility-based childbirth in public health facilities of Ilubabor Zone, Southwest Ethiopia.
Article in Maternal health, neonatology and perinatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMistreatment during childbirth remains a barrier to maternal health in low-resource settings.
objectiveTo assess the prevalence of mistreatment during childbirth and its associated factors among women in public health facilities of Ilubabor Zone, Southwest Ethiopia, 2025.
methodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August to October 2025 among 470 women using multistage sampling and interviewer-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression.
resultsMistreatment during childbirth was reported by 68.1% (95% CI: 63.9-72.3%) of women. Verbal insults, denial of mobility during labor, refusal of pain relief, and lack of consent for procedures were the most common forms. Significant factors included low maternal education (AOR = 7.10, 95% CI: 3.71-13.58), observed provider burnout (AOR = 3.30, 95% CI: 2.14-5.10), and high provider workload (AOR = 2.70, 95% CI: 1.80-4.06).
conclusionHigh prevalence of mistreatment was observed, driven by low maternal education and multiple provider- and system-level factors. Enhanced training, staffing, and community education are urgently needed.
