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.
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
backgroundThe reduction of the perinatal and late neonatal mortality ratio (PNR) is a universal indicator of development. We describe the implementation of the Hospital Padrino Strategy (HPS), a collaborative model between a high-complexity hospital and 55 medium- and low-complexity hospitals from 2023 to 2025. The strategy included strengthening human health talent, utilizing Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP), and implementing telehealth systems between hospitals.
methodsA mixed-methods study was conducted in two phases across hospitals participating in HPS. Phase 1 involved the prospective evaluation of hospital performance and clinical indicators for perinatal and neonatal care over two years. Phase 2 collected qualitative data from healthcare personnel through focus groups to assess perceptions, barriers, and changes in professional practice.
resultsFrom January 2023 to June 2025, 60 workshops on neonatal care were held involving 1334 healthcare workers. Improvements were observed in hospital conditions and healthcare personnel's technical competencies. Seventy-nine neonates with emergencies received care through telehealth systems. During the implementation period, the PNR decreased from 13.37 to 6.91 per 1000 live births. Qualitative findings for 119 participants demonstrated strengthened professional commitment and collaborative culture.
conclusionThe HPS was associated with improvements in neonatal care conditions and reduced PNR in participating territories. IMPACT: The Hospital Padrino Strategy (HPS) was associated to reduce the Perinatal and Late Neonatal Mortality Ratio (PNR) from 13.37 to 6.91 per 1000 live births across 55 hospitals in Colombia's Pacific region (2023-2025). This study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining capacity-building, bubble CPAP implementation, and telehealth networks to improve neonatal care in low-resource hospital networks. Findings provide qualitative evidence of strengthened professional commitment and collaborative culture, highlighting human-resource engagement as a key driver for neonatal survival. This network-based strategy offers a model for Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), supporting global initiatives to reduce preventable neonatal deaths and improve health equity.
