Assessing Barriers to Implement Birth Kangaroo Care in Kentucky Birthing Hospitals.

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
introductionKentucky continues to have one of the lowest state breastfeeding rates in the country. In 2014, the majority of the birthing hospitals in Kentucky implemented a practice change to the healthcare model known as Birth Kangaroo Care (BKC) as an effort to increase breastfeeding initiation. The goal of this study was to identify current practices and barriers to implementing BKC.
methodsAn evaluation/surveillance study that incorporated an Internet survey to collect information about the practices and policies of BKC in birthing hospitals in Kentucky was completed.
findingsThe response rate was 54% (n = 25). The birthing hospitals responders to the survey (84%) reported that a BKC policy was established after the educational intervention. Data identified two perceived barriers regarding uninterrupted BKC. One barrier was the interruption by family members to hold the newborn, and the second was a delay in BKC for medical evaluations of the baby by staff members.
conclusionBreastfeeding rates after implementation of the BKC policy in Kentucky birthing hospitals showed a statistically significant (p = .02) improvement of "ever breastfed" infants.
