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
Background: Nigeria makes a substantial contribution to the global burden of stillbirths. Stillbirth accounts for about 50% of perinatal mortality and the stillbirth rate is an indicator of the quality of antenatal and intrapartum care. The study sought to determine the prevalence and determinants of stillbirths. Methodology: This was a retrospective, unmatched case-control study over two years from May 2022 to April 2024. Cases were women with stillbirths that occurred at a gestational age of ≥28 weeks, while controls were women with livebirths, in a 1 case for 2 controls ratio. Data extracted from the hospital records, using a predesigned collection form, included demographic, medical, obstetric and neonatal characteristics as exposure variables. Data was analysed with SPSS version 25, using descriptive and inferential statistics. Multivariate logistics regression was used to determine adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and a Results: There were 3,425 livebirths and 120 stillbirths, giving a stillbirth rate of 35 per 1000 livebirths. Analysis was performed for 114 cases and corresponding 228 controls, 6 cases were excluded for incomplete data. Maternal age ranged from 20-48 years and parity from 0-7, with no statistical difference between either group ( Conclusion: The stillbirth rate at our Centre was 35 per 1000 livebirths. Associated factors for stillbirth were unbooked status, vaginal delivery, abruptio placenta, preterm delivery and birth weight <2500g.
