Impact of an Online Program of Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Education in a Resource-Constrained Setting.

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
Background: Respiratory distress is a leading cause of preterm infant mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is emerging as a potentially safe, cost-effective way of delivering noninvasive respiratory support in low-income and middle-income countries. However, without healthcare providers who are knowledgeable and skilled in the use of this technology, suboptimal neonatal care and related health disparities are likely to persist. Objective: We hypothesized that an Internet-based, blended curriculum on bubble CPAP for bedside providers in low-resource mother-baby units (MBUs) could be developed and implemented and lead to improvements in clinical knowledge, reasoning, and learner confidence in bubble CPAP. Methods: Clinical educators from Israel, Ghana, and the United States used the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) design framework to create an online curriculum for two MBUs in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Participants completed pre and post curriculum knowledge tests and completed surveys on their perspectives. Results: Fifty-four interdisciplinary health professionals from the MBUs participated in the curriculum. Median knowledge test scores improved from 64% (interquartile range [IQR] = 50-72%) to 81% (IQR = 71-89%) after participation in the curriculum ( Conclusion: An online curriculum was successfully implemented and led to changes in healthcare worker knowledge in bubble CPAP. This may be an effective way to deliver education to healthcare professionals in resource-constrained countries and warrants further study.
