Parental protective factors and stress in NICU mothers and fathers.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveEvaluate the effect of parental protective factors on parental stress at time of NICU admission and prior to discharge. STUDY
designParents of infants born at <35 weeks gestation were approached at a single level III NICU. Consenting parents completed a questionnaire on admission and prior to infant's discharge of demographic information and three validated instruments: (1) parental stress (PSS:NICU), (2) Parents' Assessment of Protective Factors (PAPF), and (3) health literacy (PHLAT-8).
resultsMean PSS:NICU Total score was 2.8 ± 0.9 (Time 1) and 2.6 ± 1.1 (Time 2). Mean PAPF scores in all subcategories were high (means >3, ±0.3-0.5) (Time 1, Time 2). There was no clinically significant association between PSS:NICU scores and PAPF or any of the other measured variables.
conclusionPAPF and other commonly implicated factors were not associated with perceived self-reported parental stress at time of NICU admission and prior to discharge.
