Adverse birth outcome and associated factors among diabetic pregnant women in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe magnitude of adverse birth outcome among diabetic pregnant women is high in low-and-middle income countries, like Ethiopia. Precise epidemiological evidence is necessary to plan, evaluate and improve effective preventive measures. This systematic review and meta-analysis is the first to estimate the pooled prevalence of adverse birth outcome and associated factors among diabetic pregnant women in Ethiopia.
methodsPubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, Web of Science and PsycINFO, and article found in University online repository were accessed. Observational studies such as cross-sectional, case-control and prospective cohort reported using English language was involved. I2 statistic was used to check heterogeneity. Egger's test and funnel plot were used to measure publication bias. Weighted inverse variance random effects model was also performed.
resultsSeven studies with 1,225 study participants were retrieved to estimate the pooled prevalence of adverse birth outcome and associated factors. The pooled prevalence of adverse birth outcome among diabetic pregnant women was 5.3% [95% CI; 1.61, 17.41]. Fasting blood glucose level above 100 mg/dl [Adjusted Odds ratio (AOR) = 10.51; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 5.90, 15.12], two hour post prandial glucose level above 120 mg/dl [AOR = 8.77; 95% CI = 4.51, 13.03], gestational age <37 completed week [AOR = 9.76; 95% CI = 5.29, 14.23], no ANC follow-up [AOR = 10.78; 95% CI = 6.12, 15.44], history of previous adverse outcomes [AOR = 3.47; 95% CI = 1.04, 5.90], maternal age < 30 years [AOR = 3.47; 95% CI = 1.04, 5.90], and illiteracy [AOR = 2.89; 95% CI = 0.81,4.97)] were associated factors of adverse birth outcome.
conclusionsThe pooled prevalence of adverse birth outcomes among diabetic pregnant women in Ethiopia was high. Child born from mothers who were illiterate, maternal age < 30 years, gestational age < 37 completed weeks, history of previous adverse birth outcomes and no ANC follow-up increased the risk of adverse birth outcome.
