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

aimThis study evaluated the effect of combining remote training (RT) with quality improvement (QI) processes on immediate and resuscitative care practices in a hospital in Nepal.

methodsThis prospective, before-after-design study included 5034 newborns, with 1836 newborns independently observed for immediate and resuscitation care practice. Essential Newborn Care (ENC) training was delivered remotely via zoom to healthcare providers (HCPs) followed by six bi-monthly facilitated QI interventions through Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) meeting. Generalized linear models were used to estimate the multivariable adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) between the periods as well as incidence risk ratio (IRR) change for key HCP performance on a weekly basis during PDSA interventions.

resultsThe proportion of deliveries for which resuscitation equipment was prepared by HCP increased from 9.6% to 43.7% between the observation periods (aRR = 1.44). Initiation of ventilation within the first minutes of birth improved significantly (0% vs. 18%, aRR = 1.49) with IRR increase by 17% with each additional week (IRR = 1.17; 95% CI; 1.08, 1.26). The proportion of infants who received repeat suctioning decreased non-significantly (88.6% vs. 63.2%, aRR = 1.22).

conclusionPairing RT with facilitated QI led to improvements in immediate newborn and resuscitation care practice, recommending pairing of remote training and facilitating QI for future resuscitation program.
