A biopsychosocial model of NICU family adjustment and child development.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundAlthough infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) are at risk for developmental impairments and parents are at risk for emotional distress, factors that explain outcomes remain unknown. Here, we developed the first biopsychosocial model to explain family adjustment after NICU discharge.
methodsParticipants included 101 families at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Neonatal Follow-Up Program who had been discharged 1.5-2.5 years prior. We gathered data using validated assessments, standardized assessments, and electronic medical records.
resultsOur structural equation model, informed by the Double ABC-X Model, captured the dynamic relationships among infant, parent, couple, and family factors. Infant medical severity, posttraumatic stress, couple functioning, and family resources (e.g., time, money) were key for family adjustment and child development.
conclusionsInterventions that target parental posttraumatic stress, couple dynamics, parental perception of time for themselves, and access to financial support could be key for improving NICU family outcomes.
