Neonatal encephalopathy in India: spatiotemporal variations in declining mortality.
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundUnited Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target reduction of global neonatal and infant mortality. We examined trends in both neonatal/overall infant mortality (NMR/IMR) and those related to neonatal encephalopathy (NE) for India.
methodsNE mortality data (1990-2019), stratified by age (0-6 days, 7-27 days) and location, were sourced from the Global Health Data Exchange. Birth cohort data were obtained from the UN Population Prospects. NE-NMR trends were analyzed using joinpoint regression to estimate annual percent change (APC) and average APC (AAPC). Pearson correlation assessed relationships between NE-NMR and sociodemographic index (SDI) or composite coverage index (CCI).
resultsOf 811 million live births (1990-2019), 4.3 million deaths (uncertainty interval [UI]: 3.6-5.3 million) were NE-related. NE-NMR declined from 6.7 to 3.5 (47.5%, AAPC: -2.2%)], while all-cause NMR and IMR declined from 57.3 to 21.6 (62.6%; AAPC: -3.3%) and from 83.2 to 29.9 (64.1%, AAPC: -3.5%) per 1000 livebirths, respectively. NE-NMR correlated inversely with SDI (R² = 0.57, p < 0.01) but not with CCI (R² = 0.08, p = 0.13). Regional disparities persisted.
conclusionsNE-related neonatal mortality declines, though significant, lags overall neonatal and infant mortality improvements. Sustained, focused and community-oriented efforts are critical to closing these disparities to meet India's SDG targets. IMPACT: India has achieved significant reductions in neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and all-cause neonatal mortality over the past three decades. From 1990 to 2019, infant mortality rate (IMR) declined from 83 to 29 per 1000 livebirths though NE's share of IMR increased from 8% to 11.8%. Significant interstate variations in NE mortality persist, highlighting the need for targeted state-specific healthcare strategies. NE mortality strongly correlates with sociodemographic development, reflecting the critical role of broad social and economic progress. Strategic and sustained investments in healthcare systems are vital to closing data gaps, reducing disparities, and achieving single-digit neonatal mortality rates by 2030.
