1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe use of bedside cameras in neonatal units facilitates livestreaming of infants to support parental and family bonding when they are unable to be physically present with their baby. This study aimed to explore the experiences of parents of infants previously admitted for neonatal care and who used live video streaming to view their baby in real-time.

methodsQualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted after discharge with parents of infants admitted for neonatal care on a tertiary level neonatal unit in the UK in 2021. Interviews were conducted virtually, transcribed verbatim and uploaded into NVivo V12 to facilitate analysis. Thematic analysis by two independent researchers was undertaken to identify themes representing the data.

resultsSeventeen participants took part in sixteen interviews. Thematic analysis identified 8 basic themes which were grouped into 3 organizational themes: (1) family integration of the baby including parent-infant, sibling-infant, and wider family-infant attachment facilitated through livestreaming, (2) implementation of the livestreaming service including communication, initial set up of the livestreaming service, and areas for improvement, and (3) parental control including emotional, and situational control.

conclusionsThe use of livestreaming technology can provide parents with opportunities to integrate their baby into their wider family and friendship community and gain a sense of control over their baby's admission for neonatal care. On-going parental education around how to use, and what to expect from, livestreaming technology is required to minimise any potential distress from viewing their baby online.
