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
aimTo test whether the implementation of the Close Collaboration with Parents intervention at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) decreases depression symptoms of mothers up to two years after the delivery of preterm infants.
methodsWe used a non-equivalent two-group design, comparing mothers of very low birthweight infants in the same NICU before (2001-2006) and after (2011-215) the intervention. The unit carried out the educational intervention (2009-2012) that was targeted at its healthcare team and aimed to improve their skills to collaborate with parents. Maternal depression symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) six months and two years after the expected birth date of the infant.
resultsWe found a median difference of 2.56 (95% CI from 1.64 to 3.48) in EPDS at the two-year follow-up between the pre-intervention and post-intervention groups, p < 0.001. Furthermore, we found no interaction between measurement time-points and group, implying that the intervention effect on maternal depression symptoms was similar at the six-month and two-year time-points.
conclusionThe intervention seems to have long-term preventive effects on maternal depressive symptoms. This effect is of clinical significance as prolonged maternal depression associates with adverse child outcomes.
