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

Objectives: In this literature review, we describe the progress of Indonesia's NBS program (which is heavily centered on CH screening), its current pilot projects, and what lies ahead for this program. Setting: Since its conception began with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) screening, Indonesia has experienced plodding progress in NBS. There is a shortage of literature discussing the history, or the lack of, and journey of NBS in Indonesia. Methods: We searched for literature in Pubmed and Google Scholar with keywords such as "Newborn Screening, "Neonatal Screening," "Indonesia," "Asia Pacific," "Congenital Hypothyroidism," "Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia,""Critical Congenital Heart Disease," "Hearing Loss," and "Inborn Error of Metabolism." Results: The only mandatory and regulated NBS program in Indonesia is congenital hypothyroid (CH) screening, with some pilot projects being conducted on screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), critical congenital heart disease (CCHD), hearing loss, and to a lesser extent, inborn error of metabolisms (IEMs). Conclusion: Despite the evidence and benefits, the government does not mandate or regulate newborn diseases such as CHD, CAH, hearing loss, and IEMs. The lack of regulation exists despite multiple pilot projects and studies showing a benefit in at least trying to screen newborns for those conditions.
