Comprehensive Neonatal Screening for Genetic Disorders in Tribal Populations of Central India.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: : Genetic disorders, including sickle cell disease (SCD), thalassemia, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, pose significant health challenges in central India, especially among tribal populations. Comprehensive neonatal screening is crucial for early diagnosis and management. Aim and Objective: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of SCD, thalassemia, and G6PD deficiency in newborns from tribal regions of central India and assess the impact of comprehensive neonatal screening programs. Materials and Methods: A total of 382 newborns were screened for SCD and thalassemia using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and for G6PD deficiency using a colorimetric assay. Demographic data were collected, and statistical analyses were performed. Results: The screening identified 28 cases of Sickle cell disease (SCD) (7.3%), 35 cases of thalassemia (9.1%), and 34 cases of G6PD deficiency (8.9%). The study found a significant relationship between maternal education and the prevalence of genetic disorders. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of implementing comprehensive neonatal screening programs in tribal populations to improve early detection and management of genetic disorders.
