An Integrative Review of the Sleep Experiences of Mothers of Hospitalized Preterm Infants.
Review in Nursing for women's health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine what is known about the sleep experiences of mothers of hospitalized preterm infants. DATA SOURCES: A literature search of PubMed and CINAHL was performed in February 2018. Additional articles were identified from reference lists. STUDY SELECTION: Whittemore's integrative review methodology was used to synthesize existing literature; 17 articles met eligibility criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: Data were reported in tabular format, including subjects, purpose, setting, interventions, sleep measurements, psychometric instruments, analyses, and results. DATA SYNTHESIS: Overall, sleep is disrupted and of poor quality, and many mothers report insomnia with less total sleep time. Potential beneficial interventions include bright light therapy, relaxation guided imagery, and progressive muscle relaxation.
conclusionAlthough some interventions show promise, there are significant limitations. Future research should consider maternal/infant separation and milk expression.
