The use of wireless sensors in the neonatal intensive care unit: a study protocol.
Article in PeerJ, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Continuous monitoring of vital signs and other biological signals in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) requires sensors connected to the bedside monitors by wires and cables. This monitoring system presents challenges such as risks for skin damage or infection, possibility of tangling around the patient body, or damage of the wires, which may complicate routine care. Furthermore, the presence of cables and wires can act as a barrier for parent-infant interactions and skin to skin contact. This study will investigate the use of a new wireless sensor for routine vital monitoring in the NICU. Methods: Forty-eight neonates will be recruited from the Montreal Children's Hospital NICU. The primary outcome is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and accuracy of a wireless monitoring technology called ANNE Conclusion: This study will evaluate feasibility, safety, and accuracy of a new wireless monitoring technology in neonates treated in the NICU.
