1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A case of neonatal death due to neonatal purpura fulminans (NPF) was brought to community physicians' notice by the auxiliary nurse midwife in her catchment area as part of the routine demographic health surveillance. The community physician then conducted the child death review in the community. The neonate was born out of consanguineous marriage (mother married to her first-degree maternal cousin) with spontaneous conception. This neonate was fourth in the birth order. The second-order and third-order births had also suffered from NPF and died. The baby was delivered in a tertiary care setting, and the paediatric surgeon planned debridement of the affected part on the third day of the birth, as per the mother. However, due to inadequate counselling regarding the procedure, mother left the hospital without seeking care against medical advice, and the child died at home.
