Operational Challenges in Home-Based Newborn Care (HBNC) Program Delivery in Delhi: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Indian pediatrics, 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
objectiveTo understand the operational challenges in the effective implementation of the home-based newborn care (HBNC) program based on qualitative assessment of the stakeholders.
methodsInterviews were conducted among various stakeholders [Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), Auxillary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), medical officers, beneficiaries, ASHA coordinators, district program officers, nodal officers] of all the 11 districts of Delhi. Data management was done using NVivo 11 software and analyzed using inductive content analysis.
resultsThe knowledge of the HBNC program was satisfactory with a lack of specific and regular training on the subject. The lack of trust in quality of the HBNC kit, ineffective referral systems, and lack of on-the-job field monitoring and supervision of ASHAs were the major challenges in the program implementation. Migration of beneficiaries, myths, and cultural practices in the society along with administrative work overload affected the performance of the program.
conclusionRegular training for ASHAs, quality assurance, and testing of kits are required for better HBNC service delivery. Framework for supportive supervision and procedural support in establishing referral linkages for sick newborns is essential for the effective implementation of the program.
