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
introductionFamily physicians, as leaders of primary healthcare teams, have demonstrated to be cost-effective in reducing infant mortality in developed nations, but their effect in developing nations is yet unknown.
methodsA descriptive study was conducted in 11 Latin American countries to observe their health indicators, and the possible association of the presence and actions of their family physicians regarding achieving a reduction in maternal and infant mortality. National scientific associations of family and community medicine in the region provided information for each country; a centralized statistical analysis was made.
resultsThere was a wide variation between the different countries, as regards their socio-demographic characteristics, inequalities, public investment in primary care, the proportion of family physicians within the medical profession, healthcare indicators, those relating to the level of development, and to the resources assigned to healthcare in each country. Maternal mortality was not associated to the presence and actions of family physicians in each country (R(2): 0.003) nor together with other medical specialties (R(2): 0.07); in contrast, infant mortality was associated with the presence and actions of family physicians (R(2): 0.37; 95% CI 0.04-0.95; P<0.05).
conclusionThe presence and actions of family physicians in primary healthcare in Latin America was associated to a reduction of infant mortality, with the Millenium challenges contributing to this reduction.
