Effects of early essential newborn care after elective caesarean section on maternal and neonatal outcomes: a retrospective study.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveEarly essential newborn care (EENC) is a World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended package of evidence-based perinatal interventions, but evidence regarding its effects after elective caesarean section (CS) remains limited. We evaluated the effects of EENC on maternal and neonatal outcomes following elective CS.
methodsIn this retrospective observational study, 590 patients who underwent CS from November 2021 to October 2022 were screened; after applying eligibility criteria, 282 were included for analysis: 125 in the EENC group (E group) and 157 in the routine care group (R group). Outcomes included intraoperative and 24-h postpartum blood loss, postoperative pain (visual analogue scale [VAS] at 2/24/48/72 h), exclusive breastfeeding rate, neonatal hospitalization, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission and transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB). Continuous data were compared with the independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test and categorical data with the chi-square or Fisher's exact test.
resultsIntraoperative blood loss (239.20±74.21 vs. 259.87±85.37 mL, t=2.14, P=0.033) and 24-h postpartum blood loss (47.01±20.71 vs. 54.71±26.64 mL, t=2.66, P=0.008) were lower in the E group. The 2-h VAS score was lower in the E group (1.88 [1, 3] vs. 2.48 [1, 4], Z=3.32, P<0.001). The exclusive breastfeeding rate was higher (78.4% vs. 63.7%, χ
conclusionEENC after elective CS was associated with reduced intraoperative and 24-h postpartum blood loss, lower early postoperative pain, higher exclusive breastfeeding rates and shorter neonatal hospitalization, supporting broader implementation of EENC in CS deliveries.
