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
Objective: Despite advancements in technologies, the quality of intrapartum care has consistently not improved. This study evaluates the potential efficacy of a novel technology for newborn resuscitation, which provides a visual display of time since birth, video-audio recording, and ergonomic resuscitation equipment, on healthcare providers' performance during ventilation in Nepal. Method: This study utilized a prospective observational design conducted over 3 years at a referral hospital in Nepal. All infants who did not cry within 30 seconds of birth were included, and their ventilation performance was assessed across two phases: SUSTAIN (baseline phase) and Pre-MALA (pilot implementation phase). Ventilation performance was measured through direct observation and video annotation, with the median time to first ventilation compared between the two phases using the Mann-Whitney U test and generalized linear mixed model regression. Results: A total of 164 newborn ventilation events were observed, with 78 during the SUSTAIN phase and 86 during Pre-MALA phase. Direct observation was done in both phases, while video-recording annotation was also conducted during Pre-MALA phase. The median time to first ventilation significantly decreased from 84.3 seconds (interquartile range (IQR): 55.4-114.0) during SUSTAIN to 48.2 seconds (IQR: 33.5-85.0) during Pre-MALA (p < 0.001). The duration of suctioning before ventilation was reduced by 17.8 seconds (adjusted coefficient = -17.8; 95% CI; -23.1, -11.8) and time to first ventilation was reduced by 33 seconds (adjusted coefficient = -33.2; 95% CI; -51.1, -15.4) during Pre-MALA. Conclusion: The result suggests that novel technology during resuscitation can reduce time to first ventilation and unnecessary suctioning in a clinical setting. Further large-scale evaluations are needed to fully assess the potential impact on neonatal care.
