The impact of mother-infant rooming-in and continuous skin-to-skin contact on newborns.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: Mother-infant skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is a key component of Early Essential Newborn Care (EENC), recommended by the World Health Organization to improve neonatal outcomes. Despite its global adoption, SSC implementation in China remains inconsistent, with limited evidence on its impact in Chinese populations. Objective: To explore the effects of mother-infant rooming-in and continuous SSC on newborn weight, breastfeeding rates, and the use of medications for jaundice. Methods: A total of 2205 women who delivered at Shanghai Changning District Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January and December 2022, including a routine rooming-in care group (1120 cases) and an rooming-in with continuous SSC group (1,085 cases) retrospectively collected from medical records. Both groups of newborns received early essential neonatal care within 90 min of birth, followed by rooming-in with their mothers. Newborns in the routine rooming-in care group received routine rooming-in care, while those in the rooming-in with continuous SSC group were also subjected to continuous SSC with their mothers. The changes in newborn weight, breastfeeding rates, and the use of jaundice medications were compared between the two groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the birth weight between the two groups ( Conclusion: Mother-infant rooming-in with continuous SSC promotes appropriate weight gain in newborns, increases breastfeeding rates, and reduces the need for jaundice medication.
