Healthcare Professionals' Knowledge of Early Essential Newborn Care in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: The use of the World Health Organization's Early Essential Newborn Care (EENC) guidelines may reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. The knowledge of EENC among healthcare professionals is closely tied to their clinical practice. However, there is a lack of research assessing the knowledge of healthcare professionals in Saudi Arabia. Objective: To assess the level of knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding EENC in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was employed with a convenience sample of 123 healthcare professionals working in six units that provide care for neonates at a private hospital in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire that was administered online. Data were analyzed for frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to find differences in knowledge across demographic characteristics. The significance level was set at < 0.05. Results: The mean knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding EENC was 59% ± 10%. Professionals working in the nursery had higher knowledge of EENC compared to other departments ( Conclusion: The overall knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding EENC was low. These results highlight the need for targeted, department-specific educational interventions to strengthen EENC knowledge and improve the overall quality of neonatal care.
