Effects of continuity of maternal health services on immediate newborn care practices, Northwestern Ethiopia: multilevel and propensity score matching (PSM) modeling.

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
Background: Despite priority being given to maternal and child health programs in Ethiopia, the reduction of neonatal mortality rate is stagnant, which is more than double the national target. Immediate newborn care and continuity of maternal health services are comprehensive, wide-ranging, and core strategies to overcome neonatal mortality and morbidity. However, the evidence of immediate newborn care practices and the effectiveness of continuity of maternal health services on immediate newborn care practices are scarce. Hence, this study aimed to fill this gap. Methods: A prospective follow-up study was conducted from March 2020 to January 2021, among 2198 pregnant women screened from the study areas. The data were collected using pretested semi-structured questionnaires and a registration logbook. Data were coded, entered, cleaned, and analyzed using STATA software 14. Descriptive statistics, multilevel regression, and propensity score matching (PSM) models were computed. Finally, ICC (ρ), AOR, and coefficient (β) along with 95%CI were calculated and statistical significance was considered at a p-value < 0.05. Results: The magnitude of immediate newborn care practice was 50.9% (95%CI: 50.5%, 51.3%). Partner attended primary cycle school (AOR = 2.32), women attended ANC visit ≥4 (AOR = 2.69), initiated 1st ANC visit between 4-6 months of GA (AOR = 0.47), IFA supplementation (AOR = 2.99), women who make a decision (AOR = 2.25), women whose husband make a decision (AOR = 1.66) and immunizing the newborn (AOR = 2.46) were determinant factors of immediate newborn care practices. As treatment effect, completion of COC in MHS via time dimension (β = 0.31; 95%CI: 0.27, 0.35); whole key service MHS (β = 0.43; 95%CI: 0.39, 0.48) and COC via space dimension (β = 0.17; 95%CI: 0.12, 0.21) were significantly increased the likelihood of immediate newborn care practices. Conclusion: The magnitude of optimal immediate newborn care practices was low. Different enabling factors were discovered in the study. Therefore, strengthening those enabling factors such as partner education, immunization program, IFA supplementation, early initiation and receiving ANC services, the decision-making power of women and partners, as well as scaling up a continuum of care in maternal health services are strongly recommended.
