Understanding the drivers associated with maternal delivery choices: comparative study between urban and rural women in Indonesia.

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
backgroundIndonesia faces significant maternal and child health challenges, including a high maternal mortality ratio. The country's vast geography results in disparities in healthcare facility availability. This study aimed to identify factors influencing maternal delivery choices in health facilities across Indonesia's rural and urban areas.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic Health Survey. The study population included women aged 15-49 who had given birth within 5 years preceding the survey. A total of 14,162 women were included, with 6,339 from urban and 5,009 from rural areas. Logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with maternal delivery locations.
resultsThe findings showed that 91.37% of urban and 69.33% of rural mothers delivered in healthcare facilities. All analyzed variables were significantly correlated with maternal delivery in health facilities across both areas. In rural areas, the sex of the household head (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.71; P=0.031) and the absence of barriers to healthcare access (AOR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.07-1.60; P=0.008) were significant factors. Conversely, in urban areas, only maternal age was significantly associated with delivering in health facilities.
conclusionDeterminants of maternal delivery choices vary between rural and urban settings. In rural areas, healthcare access and household head sex are key factors, while maternal age is significant in urban areas. The government should prioritize equitable healthcare facility distribution, particularly in rural areas, and promote family involvement, especially among husbands, during antenatal care to encourage facility-based deliveries.
