Civilian family members' deaths and perceived causes in war-torn Tigray, Ethiopia: modified poisson regression.
Article in Conflict and health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCivilians suffer greatly from mortality as a result of armed conflicts.The magnitude of family members' deaths and their perceived causes in households in war-affected settings of Tigray region of Ethiopia has not been investigated.
methodsThis study was part of a large integrated cross-sectional survey conducted in selected 13,915 households from 19 districts.The data analysis was done using STATA 17 versions software packages.We have fitted all the possible count regression models to discover the best fitted model. Log-likelihood, Akaike Information Criteria (AIC), and Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC) were also used to compare various candidate models. We found that the robust Poisson regression model better fits the mortality data. Adjusted Incidence Rate Ratio (AIRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) at P < 0.05 was used to establish the statistical significance in multivariable robust Poisson regression to assess the association between independent variables and the out come variable.
resultsIn this study, from the total 13,915 participants, 5% (n = 699) of them experienced civilian family members' war-associated death.Households with a disabled member (AIRR = 2.46; 95%CI: 1.80, 3.39), displaced from home (AIRR = 0.60; 95%CI: 0.50, 0.74,five and more family size (AIRR = 1.09; 95%CI: 1.04-1.14) and widowed marital status (AIRR = 3.72; 95%CI: 2.89-4.81),, and semi-urban place of residence (AIRR = 0.49; 95CI: 0.30, 0.82) were associated with the outcome variable .
conclusionCivilian family members' death report in this study is high. Large family size, widowed marital status, not displacing from home, having a disabled member of the family, and rural residences were the identified factors associated with civilian's death. In the context of the cessation of hostilities following the Pretoria Peace Agreement, sustained efforts from the government, humanitarian organizations, and the international community are essential .
