Executive summary: standards, competencies, and recommended best practices for infant- and family-centered developmental care in the intensive care unit.
Synthesis 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 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 29 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.

Abstract
objectiveDevelopmental family-centered care is evolving as an essential intensive care practice component for newborns and families. Research supports developmental care and the resulting positive outcomes for infants and families. STUDY
designAn interprofessional and parent committee utilized a systematic review and consensus process to evaluate the evidence for intensive care practice. Infant- and family-centered developmental care was described, practice components identified, and evidence-based standards and competencies articulated.
resultsConsensus process results included articulation of Standards, Competencies and Recommended Best Practices for Infant and Family Centered Developmental Care (IFCDC), including components of systems thinking, positioning and touch, sleep and arousal, skin-to-skin contact, reduction of pain and stress for infants and families, and feeding.
conclusionsSuccessful IFCDC-recommended practices provide opportunities to integrate the family with the interprofessional team, standardize practice, and improve outcomes.
