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

Dr. Ravindra Kolhe and Dr. Smita Kolhe are the pioneers of improving tribal healthcare in Maharashtra, dedicating more than three and a half decades of their lives for the sake of the people in the remote Bairagarh village of the Melghat area. Their compassionate and resilient approach and a deep sense of social justice led to a dramatic improvement in maternal and child health with a noteworthy decline in the infant mortality rate. Apart from providing affordable healthcare services, the Kolhes have been pivotal in promoting sustainable agriculture to empower the local community to improve their livelihoods. Their relentless efforts have not only enhanced healthcare facilities in Bairagarh but also addressed broader social factors such as poverty, malnutrition, and infrastructure development. In recognition of their selfless service, the couple was awarded with the prestigious Padma Shri, the fourth-highest civilian award. This narrative review article highlights their profound impact on tribal healthcare in one of Maharashtra's most underdeveloped regions.
