Home-based optimal newborn care practice and associated factors among mothers in Ethiopia: a community-based longitudinal panel survey.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to determine the level of home-based optimal newborn care practice and associated factors among mothers in Ethiopia.
designA community-based longitudinal panel survey design. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND OUTCOMES: We used data from the Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia panel survey (2019-2021). A total of 860 mothers of neonates were included in the analysis. A generalised estimating equation logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with home-based optimal newborn care practice and to account for the clustering nature of the data by enumeration area. An OR with 95% CI was used to measure the association between exposure and outcome variables.
resultsThe level of home-based optimal newborn care practice was 8.7% with 95% uncertainty interval ranging from 6% to 11%. After adjusting the effect of potential confounding factors, area of residence remained statistically significantly associated with mothers' optimal newborn care practice. The chance of home-based optimal newborn care practice was 69% times lower among mothers from rural areas compared with those in urban areas (adjusted OR=0.31, 95% CI=0.15, 0.61).
conclusionThe findings of this study showed that the level of home-based optimal newborn care practice was very low in Ethiopia. Also, home-based optimal newborn care practice was lower among mothers from rural areas in the nation. Therefore, health planners and healthcare providers, including health extension workers, should give priority attention to mothers from rural areas to improve their optimal newborn care practice by considering their context-specific factors or barriers.
