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

Emerging challenges, such as climate change and noncommunicable diseases, threaten the "survive and thrive" agenda for children and adolescents. These challenges have added to the existing burden of newborn and child morbidity and mortality. Digital solutions hold promising potential to address children's evolving health needs, especially in reaching remote areas, increasing inclusion, and ensuring equitable primary health care. This commentary raises the question, are we ready to use digital solutions and artificial intelligence to achieve transformations in child health in South Asia? If not, what is the paradigm shift required to design and implement digital and artificial intelligence solutions at-scale that are effective, sustainable, and beyond small pilots?
