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

backgroundDeveloped countries have strong health and demographic surveillance system (HDSS), whereas there is a dearth of such system in developing countries like India. India depends on national surveys and individual studies for public health information. At present All India Institute of Medical Sciences - New Delhi HDSS and Vadu HDSS are well established HDSS in India. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe developed a HDSS in a remote rural area of South India and named as Community Health Information Management System (CHIMS) This covered 20 villages around Rural Health Training Centre - Chunampet. We collected the family and demographic information from March 2018 to October 2018. Pregnancy, birth, under-five and mortality data were collected once in every 3 months with the help of interns, Medical Social Workers. Data collection done using CHIMS Guide and entered in EpiData software. EpiAnalysis, Quantum Geographic Information System, Dropbox were the other freely available software used in this program.

resultsCHIMS HDSS covered 14924 individuals belonging to 4486 households in the surrounding twenty villages. Population density was 213/km

conclusionCHIMS proved to be a robust surveillance system in providing vital public health information about the community and attracted more extramural funds to the institute.
