Designing and Implementing the Helping Babies Breathe Program in Tanzania.
Review in Journal of pediatric intensive care, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The first day and especially the first hour are critical to newborn survival with the highest risk of intrapartum-related neonatal deaths, from 60 to 70%, occurring within 24 hours of birth. Birth asphyxia (BA) or failure to initiate or sustain spontaneous breathing at birth contributes to approximately 27 to 30% of neonatal deaths. In 2009, Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), an evidence-based educational program developed to teach neonatal resuscitation techniques in limited-resource setting, was introduced and piloted in Tanzania. HBB resulted in a significant 47% reduction in early neonatal mortality from 13.4 to 7.1 per 1,000 live-born deliveries (
