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
backgroundPremature infant hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is considered a traumatic event for mothers. It is critical to provide instructions and support to couples to help them emotionally adapt and reduce posttraumatic stress. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of family-centered education on posttraumatic stress in mothers of premature infants hospitalized in the NICU. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present study was a quasiexperimental study. The parents of 80 premature infants admitted to the NICU ward of a hospital in southeastern of Iran in 2020 were divided into two groups of 40 intervention and control. The intervention group received five sessions of family-centered program on daily basis with an average of 60 minutes per session; sessions were held in the presence of both couples and for each couple separately. The control group received only training and usual care. Six weeks after intervention, information was collected using the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist. Data were analyzed using the paired
resultsThe intervention and control groups' mean posttraumatic stress scores before family-centered care were 49.65 ± 8.73 and 55.45 ± 10.39, respectively. Six weeks after the intervention the score decreased significantly to 32.75 ± 6.05 and 44.82 ± 6.53. Also, the mean score changes in the intervention group (-16.90 ± 7.69) were significantly higher than those in the control group (-10.63 ± 6.12).
conclusionsFamily-centered education has a positive effect on reducing the severity of posttraumatic stress in mothers of premature infants admitted to NICU.
