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

We examine the effect of health facility delivery on newborn mortality in Malawi using data from a survey of mothers in the Chimutu district, Malawi. The study exploits labour contraction time as an instrumental variable to overcome endogeneity of health facility delivery. The results show that health facility delivery does not reduce 7-day and 28-day mortality rates. In a low-income country like Malawi where the healthcare quality is severely compromised, we conclude that encouraging health facility delivery may not guarantee positive health outcomes for newborn births.
