1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimCurrent literature favours individualised decision making, an approach that requires understanding patients within their context and tailoring treatment and recommendations to their unique needs. In neonatology, family context becomes synonymous with patient context. In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the team may be challenged to understand the intricacies of the family context, paramount for both families and clinicians. However, a significant gap exists between the intent to share information about the family context and the process of doing so. The transformational goal of this project was to embed an understanding of the family context into all interactions that occur in the NICU between clinicians and families, and between clinicians when discussing patients.

methodsWe designed and implemented the Family Snapshot (FS), an innovation to bridge the gap between the intent and the process to share the family context.

resultsTwo groups of process measures have been collected to understand workflow integration: (1) whether the forms are being used and (2) how the forms are being used. Overall, completion of at least some part of the FS was >90%.

conclusionThis manuscript describes our process, its feasibility and impact and presents two tools, the FS antenatal consultations and the FS tab.
