Facilities for presence and provision of support to parents and significant others in neonatal units.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05003661 (The Effects of the Parents' Voice to Reduce the Heel Puncture Pain in High-Risk Neonates), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
aimTo describe parental facilities for staying in neonatal units, visiting policies and access to emotional support during hospitalisation.
methodsA cross-sectional design was used in which a survey was presented to all neonatal units in Sweden; 34 out of 38 units participated (89%).
resultsThe findings showed that in 50% of the units, parents could stay 24/7 for the infant's entire hospital stay. In 32% of the units, siblings could stay the night with their parents. Units had policies on restrictions for visits by siblings (80%), grandparents (59%), friends and relatives (71%). All units offered counselling to parents, and some units offered peer-to-peer groups (24%), diaries (35%), relaxation techniques (6%) or Internet parental forums (6%). All units enabled parents to be at home with their infant and to visit the unit for check-ups (35%) or to have staff visits at home (65%).
conclusionFacilities for parents to stay with their infant during hospitalisation and to have significant others visit are good, but there is room for improvement. During the transitional phase to being at home, parents are facilitated in being at home before the infant is discharged and are supported by the unit, which must be considered beneficial for parents.
