The Effect of Incubator Cover on Newborn Vital Signs: The Design of Repeated Measurements in Two Separate Groups with No Control Group.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
(1) Background: During their stays in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), newborns are exposed to many stimuli that disrupt their physiological indicators. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the light-dark cycle created with and without an incubator cover on the vital signs of term and preterm newborns. (2) Methods: A repeated measures design was used in the study utilizing two separate groups, without a control group. The study included 91 neonates hospitalized in a NICU (44 term and 47 preterm). With and without an incubator cover, the newborns' vital signs (heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO
