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

backgroundBirth asphyxia is a leading cause of neonatal mortality. More than half of these deaths are due to low-quality care.

objectivesTo describe the frequency, sequence, timing, and duration of interventions after birth and newborn outcomes.

methodsThis prospective observational study in rural Tanzania included newborns ≥28 weeks gestation. Trained research assistants observed and recorded all deliveries and resuscitations 24 h a day, 7 days a week, logging interventions in real time using the Liveborn Observation app.

resultsOf 2564 newborns born, 2431 (94.9%) were enrolled in the study. Macerated stillbirth (

conclusionsAlmost 10% of newborns received BMV at birth, but only one-third were ventilated within the first recommended minute. Excessive use of suctioning likely delayed the start of BMV, and prolonged ventilation beyond 10 min was associated with higher mortality.
