Studying the Effectiveness of Video-Assisted Education in Teaching Ugandan Mothers to Monitor Their Hospitalised Infant.

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
aimTo determine the time required for mothers to learn how to monitor their hospitalised infant using video-assisted education and to understand healthcare providers' perspectives on their role in maternal education.
methodsThis was a two-part study in a neonatal hospital unit in Uganda. Using video-assisted education, we assessed the time required for mothers to learn how to assess danger signs, weigh their baby, and track feeds. Proficiency was tested with knowledge and skills assessments. Concurrently, healthcare providers completed a survey regarding maternal engagement.
resultsFifty mothers participated, and 72% watched the training video only once. After viewing the video, 36% needed no additional nursing time to achieve proficiency. For mothers requiring nursing assistance, nurses spent a median time of 37 s (IQR 21-78 s). Ninety-four percent and 72% of mothers had perfect scores on the knowledge and skills assessment, respectively. Twelve healthcare providers were surveyed, and 58% reported having < 10 min to spend on maternal education. All providers cited recognition of danger signs as the most important skill for mothers to learn.
conclusionGiven Uganda's healthcare provider shortage, video-assisted education may be a valuable tool to teach mothers how they can participate in their hospitalised infant's care.
