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
Drowning is a significant cause of preventable mortality and morbidity and has been described as a serious, preventable and neglected public health challenge. Amid building momentum for drowning prevention, most notably with recent United Nations and World Health Assembly Declarations, researchers, policymakers and practitioners convened at the World Conference on Drowning Prevention (WCDP) 2023 under the conference theme of 'shaping a global strategy - mobilizing for local action'. In this special feature, we reflect on the outcomes of the WCDP 2023. Throughout the work presented by more than 750 research, policy and technical experts from over 50 countries, five overarching themes emerged: (1) advancing further contextualisation and interventions, especially in Africa; (2) integrating drowning prevention into climate and disaster agendas; (3) addressing the threats and opportunities in migration; (4) positioning drowning prevention as an issue of social justice; and (5) expanding focus on implementation research. WCDP 2023 delegates co-designed a conference call to action comprising of 16 statements designed to further strengthen global efforts on drowning prevention between now and the WCDP 2025. These actions aim to encourage increased collaboration, create new knowledge, address inequities, amplify voices of those most affected and continue shared commitments to eliminate drowning.
