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
backgroundPost-discharge care of premature infants is an important goal that can provide a safe transition for these infants from the hospital to the home setting, especially who has undergone significant changes during Covid19. Most premature infants experience complications because of routine hospital care termination after discharge because of limitations and barriers that Covid can create for the infant and the parents. It is necessary to develop a program that provides ongoing care for these infants. Telecare is one feasible option that can be used to implement this program. The study aims to develop a post-discharge telecare program for premature infants in the Covid era in Iran. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis is an exploratory mixed-methods study that will be conducted by Qualitative-quantitative methods in three consecutive phases at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in January 2022. In the first phase, a qualitative study will be conducted to identify and determine the needs and strategies in the Covid 19 era to promote premature infant care after discharge. The data will be collected through deep semi-structured interviews. Participants (parents, physicians, and nurses) will be selected by purposive sampling methods, and the conventional content analysis method will be used for data analysis. In the second phase, the identified infants' and parents' needs as an initial draft of the program will be prioritized and confirmed by the modified Delphi method and a panel of experts. The final program will be developed in this phase. In the quantitative third phase, the confirmed program will be implemented as a semi-experimental study that uses a telecare strategy. Finally, we will evaluate the effectiveness of this telecare program.
resultA program that uses qualitative and quantitative methods can provide evidence for promoting premature infant health after hospital discharge in Covid 19 era.
conclusionWe anticipate that this program will promote knowledge and empower health team members, especially nurses, to provide ongoing telecare for premature infants.
