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

Background: Neonatal mortality remains a significant public health concern in Tanzania, with birth asphyxia being one of the leading causes. The Helping Babies Breathe program aims to equip providers with essential neonatal resuscitation skills, particularly in resource-limited settings. Objective: To assess and document the effectiveness of a peer-led training program on knowledge and confidence in neonatal resuscitation. Methods: Helping Babies Breathe-Kairuki University (HBB-KU) initiative; a student-led program including both theoretical and practical components attended by future and current healthcare professionals (HCPs). Pre- and post-training knowledge tests assessing knowledge and understanding, and self-evaluation tests reporting self-confidence were administered. Results: Test results of participants from 2016 to 2023 were analyzed using the paired Conclusion: The results indicate HBB-KU peer-led training initiative is effective in mitigating knowledge gaps and developing confidence around neonatal resuscitation among participants. Given the resource-limited setting, this accomplishment provides a context for a replicable model where students can teach and train peers, and practicing HCPs may be an efficient method to expand neonatal care in similar circumstances, globally.
