Association between maternal and child health care and neonatal death in Angola: a secondary analysis of Angola Demographic Health Survey 2015-16.

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
backgroundNeonatal mortality has decreased in Angola; however, it remains high. Quality maternal and child health (MCH) care is key to improving neonatal survival. In Angola, however, the association between neonatal mortality and MCH care has not yet been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the association between neonatal mortality and MCH services in Angola.
methodsWe used the Angola Demographic Health Survey 2015-16, which is the latest nationally representative dataset of Angola. The associations between early/late neonatal death and MCH care utilization were identified by a multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusted by the sex of the child, type of residence, wealth index, caesarian section, size of the child at birth and delivery assisted by skilled birth attendant. The individual sample weight, sample strata for sampling errors/design, and cluster number were incorporated in a descriptive and logistic regression analysis to account for the unequal probability sampling in different strata.
resultsThe early and late neonatal mortality rates were 22 and 2 per 1000 live births, respectively. We found that having none, one, two or three tetanus injections before the last pregnancy compared to five or more injections, and no postnatal health check for children before discharge were associated with the occurrence of late neonatal death. During the first 2 days after childbirth, no observation of breastfeeding, no counseling on breastfeeding, no counseling on newborn danger signs, no measurement of child body temperature, and no examination of the cord as well as not checking child health before discharge were associated with early neonatal death.
conclusionsDoses of maternal tetanus vaccination and postnatal child health check before discharge were modifiable factors associated to late neonatal death. Further studies to improve MCH care coverage are needed.
