Impact of the Kangaroo mother care method on weight gain in premature newborns: systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC pediatrics, 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
purposeTo evaluate the impact of the Kangaroo Mother Care method on weight gain in premature newborns.
methodsA systematic review was conducted in scientific databases, including Pubmed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus, as well as clinically relevant articles from Dialnet and Cuiden. The search covered the period from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2023, using keywords and boolean operators "AND" and "OR."
resultsNine studies meeting the inclusion criteria and undergoing critical reading were included. Despite the high heterogeneity, the results underscore the global relevance of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method, demonstrating that this method positively impacts weight gain in newborns. Additionally, the positive influence of breastfeeding and kinesthetic stimulation on the weight of these preterm infants was observed.
conclusionsThe Kangaroo Mother Care method significantly benefits preterm newborns, improving weight gain. Breastfeeding and kinesthetic stimulation combined with KMC further enhance the benefits regarding the weight of preterm infants. These findings highlight the need for broader adoption of Kangaroo Mother Care with standardized protocols.
