Enhancing Kangaroo Mother Care Uptake Through Implementation of an Education Protocol.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2021. 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
objectivesKangaroo mother care (KMC) uptake is low despite KMC being an evidence based tool to decrease neonatal mortality. It is important that local strategies be developed to enhance KMC usage. This study aimed to assess the effect of implementing an education protocol on the usage of KMC in the NICU and at home after discharge.
methodsPreterm mother-infant dyads admitted to the NICU were enrolled prospectively. In initial 3 mo, baseline data on KMC usage in the unit and at home after discharge was collected. In the next three months, a KMC education protocol consisting of one-to-one counseling, education and sensitization of the mother and family members regarding benefits and procedure of KMC and focussed group discussions was implemented such that it became a unit work protocol. In the next 3 mo, data on KMC usage in the unit and at home after discharge was again collected and compared with the baseline data.
resultsImplementation of the education protocol resulted in earlier initiation of KMC (2.49 ± 0.67 vs. 4.65 ± 0.99 d, p < 0.05); increased duration of KMC (8 h/d vs. 3 h/d, p < 0.05); a higher proportion of eligible preterms receiving KMC during hospital stay (100% vs. 75%, p < 0.05) and at home (87% vs. 28%, p < 0.05) and KMC being provided more often by other family members (27.1% vs. 5.7%, p < 0.05).
conclusionsImplementation of a KMC education protocol resulted in improved KMC usage in the unit and at home 4 wk after discharge.
