Predictors of Neonatal Jaundice Admissions: A Comparative Study Between Thai and Myanmar Mothers Residing in Thailand.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between maternal health literacy, preventive practices, and neonatal jaundice admissions among Thai and Myanmar mothers. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional predictive design was employed with 400 mothers of full-term infants, including 200 Thai and 200 Myanmar mothers, recruited from a provincial hospital in Thailand. Data were collected in two phases: baseline demographic and clinical data were obtained before discharge, and maternal health literacy and preventive practices were assessed post-discharge when infants were 4-5 days old. Logistic regression was used to examine associations between maternal health literacy, preventive practices, and neonatal jaundice admissions, adjusting for covariates such as maternal age and education. Results: Maternal health literacy and preventive practices were significantly associated with reduced neonatal jaundice admissions among Thai mothers. However, after adjusting for covariates, these factors were not independent predictors, suggesting that Thailand's universal healthcare and postpartum education programs mitigate individual limitations. For Myanmar mothers, maternal health literacy was the sole significant predictor of neonatal jaundice admissions, reflecting its critical role in resource-limited settings. Preventive practices were not significant predictors, likely due to systemic barriers such as language challenges, limited healthcare access, reliance on traditional remedies, and insufficient skills to observe and manage early signs of neonatal jaundice effectively. Conclusion: Maternal health literacy plays a pivotal role in shaping neonatal jaundice outcomes, particularly for immigrant mothers in resource-limited contexts. Strengthening bilingual education, culturally tailored healthcare support, and expanding resources for migrant populations are essential to reducing disparities and improving neonatal outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.
