Transforming neonatal nursing in India: challenges, opportunities, and the way forward.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Neonatal care is essential for the well-being of newborns, particularly premature or critically ill patients. Despite advancements in medical technology and evidence-based practice, India faces significant challenges in neonatal nursing, including resource limitations, inconsistent training, and inadequate policy support. This paper examines the current state of neonatal nursing in India, highlighting disparities between urban and rural areas, and comparing them to global practices. It explores systemic issues affecting neonatal care, such as inadequate educational frameworks, a shortage of trained faculty, and insufficient clinical exposure. We outline a comprehensive approach to address these challenges, including the introduction of Neonatal Nurse Practitioner programs, enhancements in specialized training, promotion of evidence-based practices, and integration of technology. We also emphasize the need for stronger policy support and increased funding to improve the neonatal care infrastructure. By adopting these recommendations, India can make significant strides towards improving neonatal outcomes and aligning itself with global health targets.
