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

BackgroundChildren with perinatal HIV exposure are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental (ND) delays, yet little is known about ND screening implementation for this population.MethodsThis longitudinal study evaluated ND screening implementation at a health clinic in Kenya, from 9/2021 to 8/2023. Children aged 18-36 months with perinatal HIV exposure were screened using a 12-item general ND tool. Implementation outcomes-acceptability, feasibility, fidelity, and sustainability-were assessed through time-motion observations, clinic records, and semi-structured interviews with caregivers and staff.ResultsOf 507 eligible children, 405 (80%) were screened. Screening rates were consistent over 24 months, with average time reduced to under 5 min. Facilitators included staff collaboration and caregiver support; barriers included time constraints and child temperament.ConclusionsND screening was acceptable, feasible, and sustainable. Policymakers should embed ND screening within national child health programs, invest in workforce training and task-sharing models, strengthen referral and follow-up systems, and ensure affordable access to services.
