Health related quality of life (HRQoL) in mothers of premature infants at NICU discharge.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
backgroundPremature delivery and a potential Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission may be associated with the risk of poor maternal health. We aimed to examine the mothers' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at the time of infant discharge. STUDY
designFifty mothers completed the Medical Outcomes Study-Short Form 12. It has a Physical Component Score (PCS) and Mental Component Score (MCS), both with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Analysis included infant, maternal, and pregnancy-related characteristics.
resultsIn multivariable analyses, a household income of <150K lowered the PCS by 10 points (p = 0.003) compared to those with higher incomes. Marginal significance was noted in GA, for every week gained the PCS score was lower by 1.5 points.
conclusionSeveral risk factors are associated with lower physical health ratings in mothers of preterm infants at discharge. This information can be used to inform providers in their anticipatory guidance to the family and follow-up plans.
