Assessment of maternal knowledge on neonatal danger signs.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Maternal knowledge of neonatal danger signs and subsequent healthcare-seeking behaviors are critical for early intervention and reducing neonatal mortality. This study aimed to assess these factors among mothers attending the Immunization Centre at KMCH Hospital, Coimbatore. A quantitative approach with a descriptive design was employed. Fifty mothers were selected via convenience sampling and administered a structured questionnaire. This tool encompassed socio-demographic variables, obstetric history, and a 30-item assessment on maternal knowledge of neonatal danger signs and healthcare-seeking behaviors. Findings revealed that while 80% of mothers exhibited moderate knowledge, only 16% demonstrated adequate knowledge of neonatal danger signs. Factors influencing healthcare-seeking behaviour included maternal education, family income and access to healthcare services. Comparative analysis with previous studies underscored consistent patterns of moderate knowledge but highlighted regional disparities in healthcare access and socio-economic impacts. The study emphasizes the critical need for targeted educational interventions to enhance maternal awareness of neonatal danger signs and promote early healthcare seeking. Improving maternal knowledge and behaviour could significantly mitigate neonatal morbidity and mortality rates in Coimbatore and similar settings. Future research should focus on sustained behaviour change and broader implementation of educational initiatives to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
