1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the effects of recorded lullabies and taped maternal voice in premature infants. STUDY

designSixty-two preterm infants in a stable condition with 30<37 weeks of gestation and <10 days of postnatal age were randomly assigned to hear (A) recorded lullabies or (B) taped maternal voice for 30 min each evening during 14 consecutive days or (C) receive no standardized acoustic stimulation (control group). Heart rate and respiratory rate were recorded daily before, during and after the intervention (A and B) or a comparable period with no intervention (C), whereas activity was measured on days 1, 7 and 14 of the intervention using accelerometers.

resultsBoth interventions led to a significant decrease in heart rate and respiratory rate during and after the stimulation when compared with the control group. The changes were more pronounced in infants with higher gestational ages (P=0.001). Lower activity was measured during the intervention when compared with the control group (P<0.01).

conclusionsStandardized acoustic stimulation with recorded lullabies and taped maternal voice led to a decrease in heart rate and respiratory rate, and was associated with lower activity. Whether this indicates a reduced stress reaction needs to be investigated in further studies.
