Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. 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
Purpose: Percentile reference of babies' birth weight is an effective reference tool for early detection of the risk of neonatal morbidity and impaired growth. However, the lack of minimum local and national perinatal data makes its development in Indonesia difficult. This study aims to develop a local birth weight percentile reference for babies based on gestational age and sex by utilizing local data in South Kalimantan Province which is one of the provinces with the highest neonatal mortality rate in Indonesia. Patients and Methods: All single live newborns who were born and were recorded in 20 primary healthcare centers, between 1 June 2016 and 30 June 2017, were included in the study. Birth weight percentiles of infants were calculated using the weighted average method. The study focused on neonates born with gestational age from 36 to 40 weeks. Results: A local birth weight reference for babies has been developed. According to our local reference, the proportion of male newborns with a birth weight < 10th percentile was higher (7.0%) than the existing Indonesian (4.2-4.3%) and international references (3.3-6.2%). Similarly, the proportion of female newborns with a birth weight <10th percentile was higher (6.5%) than the existing Indonesian references (3.6-4.4%) and the global reference (5.8%) but lower than the Intergrowth 21st project (7.2%). The differences suggest that relative birth weight will likely be underestimated (overestimated) if other percentile references are used for the local population. Conclusion: A local birth weight percentile reference for babies in South Kalimantan Province based on gestational age (36-40 weeks) and sex has been developed. Access to the local data, as baseline information, will allow the compilation and comparison of pregnancy-related outcomes across provinces in Indonesia. Consequently, reliable national perinatal data can be strengthened to establish the national references for newborns' anthropometric measurements.
