Progress in achieving SDG targets for mortality reduction among mothers, newborns, and children in the WHO South-East Asia Region.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
As we reach midway towards the 2030 Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDG), this paper reviews the progress made by the WHO South-East Asia Region (SEAR) and member countries towards achieving the SDG targets for maternal, newborn and child mortality under the regional flagship initiative. Indicators for mortality and service coverage were obtained for all countries and progress assessed in comparison to other regions and between countries. Equity analysis was conducted to focus on the impact on marginalized populations. The article also informs about the priority actions taken by the WHO SEAR office and countries in accelerating reductions in maternal, newborn and child mortality. Moving forward, the region and countries must strategize to sustain the gains made so far and also address challenges of inequities, sub-optimal quality of care, newer priorities like stillbirths, birth defects, early childhood development, and public health emergencies and adverse effects of climate change on human health.
