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
Neonatal mortality and morbidity is a significant public health issue globally, particularly in low-income countries including Ethiopia. This study aimed to determine the proportion and associated factors of neonatal near misses among newborns delivered at public hospitals in the East Gojjam zone of Northwest Ethiopia. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 21 to June 20, 2023, among 560 newborns and their mothers in randomly selected five public hospitals. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire, medical record review, and a standard checklist with a systematic random sampling technique in each proportionally allocated hospital. The data was entered using 4.6 Epi-data software and exported to SPSS version 25. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed using a backward stepwise approach method, and statistical significance was declared at a 95% confidence interval with a p-value < 0.05. A total of 552 participants responded to the study, with a response rate of 98.6%. The prevalence of neonatal near miss was 41.3% with a 95% confidence interval of 37.1-45.3. Unplanned pregnancy (AOR = 4.91, 95% CI: 2.43-9.94), current obstetric complications at birth (AOR = 5.48, 95% CI: 2.92-10.27), pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR = 2.75, 95% CI: 1.23-6.12), premature rupture of membrane (AOR = 3.40, 95% CI: 1.71-6.78), mother referred from other healthcare facilities (AOR = 7.12, 95% CI: 4.01-12.63), delivered on-duty time (AOR = 5.04, 95% CI: 2.94-8.65), less than three ultrasound scans (AOR = 3.71, 95% CI: 2.11-6.53), and no ultrasound scan (AOR = 9.44, 95% CI: 2.55-34.99) were significantly associated with neonatal near miss. The prevalence of neonatal near-misses was 41.3% (95% CI: 37.1%, 45.3%). Unplanned pregnancy, obstetric complications at birth, ultrasound scan, premature rupture of membrane, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and mothers referred from other healthcare facilities, and delivered on-duty time were significant factors associated with neonatal near misses.
