Increasing access to essential medicines through partnership: experience in developing and delivering chlorhexidine gel for newborn cord care.
Review in BMJ paediatrics open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sustainable access to essential medicines in low-income and middle-income countries requires innovative cross-sectoral collaboration throughout the lifecycle of a medicine. Partnerships are essential to address the systemic challenges of global health and health inequity. Pharmaceutical companies, funders, governments, international non-governmental organisations (I-NGOs) and other key stakeholders can leverage, through effective partnership working, their unique expertise to help drive innovation and share learnings and risks. Here, we reflect on one approach taken in the development and supply of chlorhexidine digluconate 7.1% w/w gel (equivalent to 4% w/w chlorhexidine) for neonatal cord care. We describe and analyse the steps taken by GSK to increase access to chlorhexidine gel, including partnering with the I-NGO Save the Children in Western Kenya. Learning points gained along the journey are shared, together with subsequent steps taken to increase access, with the aim of making recommendations that may be applicable to similar enterprises in the future.
