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
Introduction: Kangaroo Mother Care is a valuable technique recognized for its impact on bonding, breastfeeding, and thermoregulation in newborn infants, transcending considerations of weight, gestational age, or clinical condition. Objective: This study aimed to assess mothers' feelings and perceptions regarding the implementation of the Kangaroo Mother Care procedure. Method: In this qualitative investigation, individual interviews were conducted with 25 postnatal mothers who had experienced Kangaroo Mother Care with their infants. While, 12 unique responses were acquired. These interviews served as a means to explore and document the mothers' perspectives on Kangaroo Mother Care. The analysis of field notes identified four themes and one subtheme, which were coded into categorical distinctions. Results: A total of 25 postnatal mothers, along with their newborns participated in this study. The majority of postnatal mothers fall within the age range of 20-30 years (48%), followed by 30-40 years (40%), Regarding newborn, majority were full-term (64%), followed by premature (28%) The findings revealed several significant outcomes. Mothers reported a marked improvement in their perception of Kangaroo Mother Care, describing reduced pain, enhanced comfort, and an overall positive sentiment. Many expressed that practicing KMC was a novel and delightful experience, marking their first engagement in this procedure. Moreover, a majority expressed a willingness to continue Kangaroo Mother Care in the future, hoping for its continued implementation within hospital settings. This enthusiasm aligns with recognizing Kangaroo Mother Care as a priority in nursing mother care. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study underscores the potential benefits and positive impact of Kangaroo Mother Care on mother's experience. The findings advocate for the broad implementation of Kangaroo Mother Care as a valuable strategy in neonatal care, offering a holistic approach to improving the well-being of both mothers and newborns. These insights emphasize the importance of promoting and integrating Kangaroo Mother Care into neonatal care protocols, contributing to enhanced neonatal health and maternal satisfaction.
