Role of Kangaroo Mother Care in the Management of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in Both Term and Preterm Neonates: A Systematic Review.
Article in The Journal of perinatal education, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundNeonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NNH) is the most common clinical sign seen in neonatal practice. Kangaroo mother care (KMC), a new strategy has been tried for the management of hyperbilirubinemia.
aimsTo evaluate the role of KMC for reduction of bilirubin and duration of phototherapy in term and preterm neonates.
methodThe literature search was done for various randomized control trials by searching the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, EMBASE, ongoing clinical trials and abstracts of conferences.
resultsThis review included five RCTs that fulfilled inclusion criteria. Out of five trials, two trials reported a significant reduction in bilirubin and three trials reported a significant reduction in duration of phototherapy.
conclusionKMC may be a novel strategy in the management of NNH. However, due to small sample size and heterogeneity between the trials, the current evidence is not sufficient. Hence, large trials with adequate sample sizes are needed.
