Assessment of early neonatal practices to prevent hypothermia ; A comparative study.
Article in F1000Research, 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: Globally, neonatal deaths are significantly attributed to hypothermia. This is mostly because of its co-morbidity with asphyxia, premature birth and severe neonatal infections. Worldwide, neonatal hypothermia case fatality rates (CFRs) range from 8.5% to 52%. This study aimed to assess how well a video-based training intervention on mothers' knowledge and practices in preventing neonatal hypothermia worked. Methods: The knowledge and practices of two groups of primi-para mothers-one control group and one intervention group-were compared in order to achieve this. A total of 124 primipara mothers took part in the research. Using a video based tool, the intervention group was educated about preventing hypothermia in newborns. Both control and intervention group mothers were interviewed to compare the knowledge and practices. Results: Sixty-one of the sixty-two mothers in the control group were unsure of which body area to cover in order to preserve the baby's body heat. Following the intervention, 61 out of 62 mothers in the group recognised which body part to cover to protect the baby's body heat. In the post-intervention group, 98.4% of moms wore a cap over their baby's head, compared to just 35.5% in the control group. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate the significant improvement in mothers' knowledge and actions about the prevention of neonatal hypothermia resulting from the use of a video-based training tool.
