Early Skin-To-Skin Contact Enhanced Feeding Behaviours and Stabilised Thermal Transition in Neonates Born by Caesarean.
Trial report in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 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
aimEarly skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is recommended after vaginal birth, but its implementation and evidence for Caesarean delivery remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of early SSC on neonatal adaptation and feeding behaviours in infants born via Caesarean section.
methodsA randomised controlled trial was conducted at the Peking University People's Hospital in China from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. We recruited 209 mother-infant dyads, assigning them to an intervention (early SSC) or control (routine care) group. Outcomes included timing of feeding-readiness behaviours, physiological metrics (e.g., body temperature), and breastfeeding frequency within 72 h.
resultsThe cohort included 209 neonates (sex distribution: 52.7% male; mean gestational age: 34.15 ± 4.19 years old). The SSC group (n = 105) showed significantly shorter latencies to all feeding-readiness behaviours, maintained higher body temperatures postpartum, had a more favourable weight transition pattern, more frequent breastfeeding sessions, and a lower jaundice value on day 3 (all p < 0.05).
conclusionEarly SSC after Caesarean delivery enhanced neonatal behavioural organization, physiological stability, and early feeding efficacy. Its integration into routine post-Caesarean care is recommended to improve infant outcomes.
