Impact of Tele-Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) Clinics on the Respiratory Outcomes of Newborns.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2025. 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
objectivesTo assess the respiratory outcomes of newborns receiving Kangaroo mother care (KMC) in remote units of Chhattisgarh, India by providing telementoring to medical staff and parents.
methodsIn 2022, this comparative study was carried out at one SNCU in Chhattisgarh, India. The study consisted of gathering data before intervention and utilizing video call technology for remote mentoring to encourage KMC among both staff and parents. Quality improvement initiatives were executed under supervision. Subsequently, data on mortality and morbidity was collected and compared with pre-intervention data.
resultsThe KMC rate increased from 4.5% to 100% by the end of 2022 and remained consistent in 2023. The median latency for starting KMC decreased to 0 d. Long KMC for more than 8 h was seen in 61.4% of babies who received KMC. Oxygen usage dropped from 93.4% to 39.8%. The median days of respiratory support decreased from 3 d to 0 d. The incidence of apnea reduced from 30.3% to 13%. Total adverse outcomes [death, leave-against-medical-advice (LAMA) and referral] reduced from 35.8% (n = 95) to 18.3% (n = 62) (p < 0.05) [Relative Risk (RR): 0.51; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.39-0.67]
conclusionsUsing telemedicine technology for promotion and maintenance of KMC is an effective approach to decrease the mortality rate, morbidity rate, and overall cost of care for newborns who are admitted to SNCUs located remotely.
