Evaluation of an Education Programme for Introducing Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to Neonatal Unit Staff: A Mixed Methods Study.
Article in Nursing in critical care, 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
backgroundBioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive method of body composition, which may be useful in improving fluid management decisions for sick and preterm infants.
aimTo implement and evaluate an education package for the multidisciplinary team who plan to use BIA within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in future research. STUDY
designA mixed methods approach was used to evaluate the impact of an education package for the multidisciplinary team (MDT) working in the NICU regarding the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Knowledge acquisition was assessed and feedback sought regarding the content, format and delivery of the teaching.
resultsThere was a significant improvement in the median knowledge scores from 2.5 to 4/5 (p = < 0.001) after the education programme, with staff reporting a positive learning experience.
conclusionThis neonatal education package improved knowledge and was evaluated positively and could be used by other centres wishing to implement this technology. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: This education package will be useful for other NICUs wanting to implement this new technology into research or clinical practice. This model of education could be altered to facilitate the introduction of any new piece of technology into any intensive care setting.
