1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Currently in Mother Newborn Care Unit (MNCU) facility, small and sick newborns receive level II intensive care alongside their mothers 24 × 7. The present manuscript shares the mother- newborn dyad care in MNCU for small and/or sick newborns irrespective of birth weight and gestation, requiring level III intensive care. Before February 2024, in Safdarjung Hospital, the extramural neonates used to be admitted and managed in the pediatric wards with older children without dedicated place for newborns. In February 2024, Safdarjung Hospital operationalized 40 bedded level III MNCU for extramural sick neonates of all gestation and birth weight. Group I represents the data of babies before development of MNCU (May 2023 to Jan. 2024) and Group II represents the data post development of MNCU (Feb. 2024 to Oct. 2024). In-hospital mortality was 28.3% (515/1822) among infants in the Group I and 18.7% (370/1980) in the Group II. Breast feeding and Kangaroo Mother Care rates significantly increased after operationalization of MNCU.
