Neonatal pain management practices in Somali region of Ethiopia: insights from neonatal intensive care unit providers.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units experience an average of 8-17 moderate to severe painful procedures per day. Because neonates lack the cognitive capacity to express their pain's location or severity, they are very dependent on healthcare providers to recognize, assess, and manage their pain. The health and development of newborns are negatively impacted by persistent or untreated pain experienced early in life. Therefore, studying neonatal pain management practices and associated factors in healthcare is critical to tackling workforce problems, enhancing neonatal care, and lowering the long-term health impacts of neonates. Method: From January 1 to 30, 2023, a facility-based cross-sectional study design was used at six public hospitals in the Somali region of Ethiopia. A total of 336 healthcare providers enrolled using a simple random sample technique. A self-administered, structured questionnaire was utilized to collect the data. The analyses used bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. To find the association between the outcome and predictor factors, the odd ratio and the 95% CI were computed. Result: The study revealed that 35.4% [95% CI 30.4%-40.5%] of respondents reported that they had good neonatal pain management practices. Ever having undergone training in neonatal pain assessment and management [AOR = 2.26 (95% CI 1.259, 4.07)], availability of pain assessment tools [AOR = 3.05 (95% CI 1.249, 7.469)], and having a favorable attitude toward neonatal pain management practice [AOR = 3.71 (95% CI 1.525, 9.035)] were found to be factors with a significant association with neonatal pain management practice. Conclusion: Based on the study's findings, there is a low level of neonatal pain management practice among healthcare providers in the Somali region. The study emphasizes the significance of having access to pain assessment tools and the requirement for healthcare professionals to get training on neonatal pain assessment and management.
