"Impact of delayed cord clamping and immediate kangaroo mother care on oxygen saturation and heart rate in moderate and late preterm infants".
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 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
backgroundImmediate Kangaroo Mother Care (iKMC) after delivery and delayed cord clamping (DCC), both improve cardiorespiratory stability in newborns.
methodsThis prospective observational study included 96 moderate to late preterm (MLPT) neonates. Preductal pulse oximetry (SpO₂) and heart rate (HR) were recorded during the first 10 min after birth. Neonates who received iKMC and DCC were compared to those who did not receive iKMC.
resultsiKMC was performed in 64.6% of the infants. The iKMC group showed a non-significant trend toward higher SpO₂ levels. Mean SpO₂ was 76.06% in the iKMC group versus 70.98% in the non-iKMC group; at 420 s, it was 95.13% versus 93.77%. HR was significantly higher in the iKMC group at all time points, averaging 102.2 bpm at 120 s compared to 87.1 bpm in the non-iKMC group.
conclusionsCombining iKMC with DCC improves hemodynamic stability and oxygenation in MLPT infants, with higher HR and earlier stabilization of SpO₂ levels.
