Kangaroo Care on High-Frequency Jet Ventilation: Overcoming Perceived Barriers in Micro Preemies with Birth Weights Less than 750 Grams.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
objectiveKangaroo care (KC) is underutilized in preterm infants on ventilator support due to perceived physiologic instability. The objective of our study is to demonstrate the feasibility of safe KC provision on high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) in micro preemies weighing less than 750 g. STUDY
designOur neonatal intensive care unit has a multidisciplinary clinical standard for KC while preterm infants are on HFJV (HFJV-KC). Bedside staff documented cardiorespiratory and physiologic parameters pre, during, and post HFJV-KC. We performed a retrospective assessment of the feasibility of HFJV-KC in the micro preemie population.
resultsA total of 96 HFJV-KC occurrences from 13 neonates with median gestational age 24 1/7 weeks and birth weight of 670 g were included. There were no significant differences in heart rate and temperature pre, during, and post-HFJV-KC. There were statistically significant improvements in oxygen saturation and fraction of inspired oxygen post HFJV-KC. Secondary analyses of prolonged HFJV-KC beyond 1 h (mean 2.3 h) compared to the standard 1 h duration also showed no differences in outcome measures.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that KC may be performed in the smallest micro preemie infants (<750 g) on HFJV. Our study also presents processes to overcome perceived barriers of HFJV-KC implementation in a vulnerable population.
