Prospective cohort study exploring the neurodevelopmental outcomes following documented neonatal sepsis in Nepal: study protocol.
Article in BMJ paediatrics open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionNeonatal sepsis, a significant contributor to global neonatal mortality, poses substantial risks to infant health, particularly in low-resource countries like Nepal. Despite its high prevalence, there is a lack of clarity in defining and understanding neonatal sepsis, leading to challenges in diagnosing and managing the condition effectively. The probable impact of neonatal sepsis on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, including motor and cognitive delays, remains under-explored in Nepal. The primary objective of this study is to report the prevalence of neurodevelopmental delay in neonates with documented sepsis. The secondary objective is to report significant associations of the same with selected probable risk factors. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a dual-centric prospective cohort study that is ongoing at two hospitals-Paropakar Maternity and Women's Hospital and Siddhi Memorial Hospital in Nepal, over a 2-year period. Neonates diagnosed with sepsis will be assessed using the Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants at 6 months and 1 year, postdiagnosis. Statistical analyses will include prevalence estimation and logistic regression.
