Mother-newborn couplet care: Nordic country experiences of organization, models and practice.
Review 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 17 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
Mother-Newborn Couplet Care is a concept and is defined as the provision of care for a sick or preterm newborn in close proximity to and coupled with the care for the mother from the birth of the infant and for as long as the mother needs hospital care. This concept of care requires system change in both obstetrics and pediatrics in terms of the planning and organization of care, equipment and design of units. Accordingly, strong leadership setting clear goals and emphasizing a culture of cohesive care, supported by targeted education and training is crucial to ensure high-quality care of all mother-newborn dyads without separation. We describe various organizational models of Mother-Newborn Couplet Care used in Sweden and Finland and implementation processes. We envision a future where newborns and mothers are always together, irrespective of medical needs, and form an inseparable center around which healthcare services and providers are organized.
