Attitudes of health-care providers towards research with newborn babies.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.
Who cites it
10 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
contextBy providing information and possibly shaping parents' preferences, health-care providers are thought to play a critical role in parental decisions to enroll their infants in research. Yet, little is known about health-care providers' beliefs about research with newborns. Previous studies suggest that parents and health-care providers are often at odds regarding attitudes towards research.
objectiveTo examine the attitudes of health-care providers concerning the acceptability of research with newborn babies and the degree of research-related risk to which they would be willing to expose their own infant. These findings were compared with a previous study of parental attitudes. DESIGN, SETTING AND
participantsA survey (pretested questionnaire with 20 scaled items and five case scenarios) of 50 doctors and 64 nurses conducted in a large tertiary care center in western Canada.
resultsStudy limitations were a response rate of 64.5% among nurses but only 22% among physicians. Both doctors and nurses were strongly supportive of research with newborns, but nurses were more averse to exposing infants to risk. Only 76.0% of nurses, compared to 92.2% of physicians, agreed that informed consent should be sought for all forms of research. When results were compared with parental perceptions, health-care providers were more likely to believe that research should be conducted for the good of all babies. Parents were generally less aware of the existence of an approval process for research in general. In responding to hypothetical scenarios with risk and direct benefit, parents were less willing to enroll their infants than were health-care providers. Approximately 30% of both groups would be willing to enroll their infants in a study involving moderate risk and no direct benefit.
conclusionsViews of nurses, physicians, and parents regarding research with newborns are different. Overall, there is support for research; however, nurses are more likely to never enroll their own baby and enroll babies into minor studies without consent.
