Applying a multi-layered, mixed methods approach to evaluate technology and workforce interventions in Kenyan neonatal units.
Article in Global health action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Understanding how to best implement healthcare innovations in resource-poor settings requires complex interventions and evaluations, often straining existing healthcare systems. We aimed to address this challenge in our Kenyan neonatal intervention research by deeply integrating stakeholder engagement, applying layered methodologies, and leveraging our research team's diverse expertise. This paper reports on the design and implementation of a research programme examining the impact of new staff introductions on care quality, staff, and family experiences within an existing neonatal technology programme in Kenya. Collaborating with stakeholders, our multidisciplinary programme of research included the analysis of routine health data before and after staff introductions, co-creation of novel quantitative data collection tools, and embedded qualitative research. Continuous feedback from participants, stakeholders, and researchers facilitated an adaptive approach, with timelines and methods adjusted to minimise participant burden. This iterative process allowed for robust data collection to inform health system improvements. Our findings provide insights into implementation and evaluation research for healthcare innovations in resource-constrained settings and emphasise ethical, context-sensitive research practices for sustainable health system strengthening.
