Neonatal resuscitation knowledge and its determinants among healthcare professionals at Asella referral and teaching hospital, Southeast Ethiopia.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNeonatal mortality remains a major global health concern, with birth asphyxia responsible for nearly one-quarter of these deaths. Effective and timely neonatal resuscitation by skilled healthcare providers is crucial for improving survival rates. However, knowledge gaps about neonatal resuscitation persist, particularly in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to evaluate healthcare professionals' knowledge of neonatal resuscitation and identify factors associated with adequate knowledge.
methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Asella Referral and Teaching Hospital from April to May 2023 among 231 healthcare professionals. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with knowledge levels, with a statistical significance level set at p < 0.05.
resultsOut of 231 participants, 220 completed the questionnaire, yielding a 95.2% response rate. Only 16.8% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge of neonatal resuscitation. Factors significantly associated with adequate knowledge included having received neonatal resuscitation training (AOR=5.39; 95% CI: 1.44–20.20), male gender (AOR=5.80; 95% CI: 1.16–29.09), professional category (AOR=8.94; 95% CI: 1.36–58.68), receipt of supportive supervision (AOR=3.39; 95% CI: 1.01–11.43), and a positive attitude towards neonatal resuscitation (AOR=5.36; 95% CI: 1.52–18.87).
conclusionThis study identified a significant gap in neonatal resuscitation knowledge among healthcare professionals. Key determinants of knowledge included training, professional role, gender, supportive supervision, and attitude. Strengthening competencies through regular in-service training, supportive supervision, and simulation-based learning is essential. Additionally, integrating neonatal resuscitation into pre-service education curricula is recommended to build sustainable competencies and reduce neonatal mortality.
