1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The lack of adequate home-based care for mothers of preterm infants poses significant challenges in maternal and infant health, requiring effective interventions to empower mothers with essential knowledge and support. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the impact of the Nurse-Led Mothers Empowerment Programme (NLMEP) on improving home-based care for mothers of preterm infants. A quasi- experimental pre-test post-test design was used, with 100 mothers selected from a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, India. Results showed significant improvements in maternal knowledge, practices, stress, fatigue and social support. The knowledge score increased from 27.31 to 42.11 (p < 0.001) and 82% of mothers demonstrated adequate knowledge and practice. The lack of adequate home-based care for mothers of preterm infants poses significant challenges in maternal and infant health, requiring effective interventions to empower mothers with essential knowledge and support.
