Music therapy and retinopathy of prematurity screening: using recorded maternal singing and heartbeat for post exam recovery.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05298748 (Womb Recordings and Respiratory Control Maturation in Neonates), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
objectiveExplore a music therapy (MT) intervention to support infant recovery post retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) exam. STUDY
designProspective, double-masked, randomized, parallel group study of 100 preterm infants exposed to MT (recorded maternal singing/heartbeat) or standard care (SC). Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) measured at: baseline, during the exam, and 1 and 5 min post exam.
resultsRecovery PIPP scores were less with MT vs. SC, but statistical significance not achieved (Mean ± sd: MT 1 min [5.81 ± 2.93] and 5 min [3.91 ± 1.73] vs. SC 1 min [6.40 ± 2.78] and 5 min [4.76 ± 2.07], p = 0.07). Recovery PIPP sores were significantly higher with SC compared to MT when eye exams were longer (p = 0.049) or when exams were more painful (p = 0.04).
conclusionRecorded maternal singing and heartbeat can support recovery post ROP exam. For longer/more painful ROP exams, MT may be more effective than SC promoting recovery post exam.
