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: Hypoxemia or low blood oxygen saturation (SpO Methods: Secondary data analyses from pulse oximetry (POx) arm of a cluster randomized trial. Hypoxemia, defined as SpO Findings: From 20-June-2022 to 21-April-2023, 24,966 children were enrolled, among whom SpO Interpretation: Prevalence of hypoxemia is low among sick children presenting to rural health facilities of northern India. Less than one-third of hypoxemic children (and less than half of severely hypoxemic) were referred to higher facility, and only one in five completed referrals. Therefore, identifying and addressing the factors associated with these findings, would strengthen the integration of POx in primary healthcare facilities. Funding: This work is supported by Unitaid as part of the Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (TIMCI) project under grant number n°2019-35-TIMCI to PATH.
