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
backgroundThe first hour of life, often referred to as the "golden hour," represents a critical window for initiating timely, evidence-based interventions that stabilize the newborn and reduce the risk of complications. This period demands coordinated efforts in thermoregulation, respiratory support, glucose monitoring, and early nutrition to optimize neonatal outcomes. Despite the existence of well-established clinical guidelines, knowledge and practice gaps among healthcare providers continue to pose significant challenges. These discrepancies contribute to variations in the quality of neonatal care, particularly in high-risk settings. To address this issue, structured educational programs and targeted workshops have emerged as effective strategies to enhance healthcare providers' competencies, ensuring consistent and high-quality care during this vital phase.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the neonatal golden hour management workshop on the knowledge scores of healthcare providers. MATERIALS AND
methodsA quasi-experimental quantitative research design study was conducted at Latifa Women and Children Hospital, one of the largest maternity hospitals in Dubai, consisting of all its employees. The hospital has around 600 nurses working in various maternity units and a yearly census of 4000-5000 deliveries, and all normal vaginal deliveries are conducted by obstetric nurses or midwives. Nurses from all categories in Latifa Women and Children Hospital from the months of February 2024 to November 2024 participated in the survey.
resultsThe proportion of participants with good, very good, and excellent knowledge increased from 12%, 0%, and 0% in the pretest to 76%, 20%, and 4% in the posttest, respectively, indicating substantial improvement in overall knowledge levels. Participants aged 40-50 years and 35-40 years had more knowledge and higher scores (71.16±25.16 and 70.18±9.95, respectively). The participants working in the intensive care unit and emergency departments had more knowledge and higher scores (74.58±8.10 and 70.71±8.86, respectively).
conclusionThis result highlights the crucial role of structured workshops and training courses in improving the preparedness of healthcare providers to deliver timely and effective neonatal care during the golden hour. These findings support the integration of regular, evidence-based educational interventions into hospital training policies to ensure sustained improvements in neonatal outcomes.
