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

objectivesTo investigate the effects of music intervention on the vital signs, weight gain, feeding, hospital stays, and cost of premature infants.

methods100 premature infants were randomized into two groups: the experimental group (given music for 30 min at a time, once every day until discharge) and the control group (without music). To compare the vital signs (RR, HR, SPO

resultsAlthough respiratory rate (RR) showed a decreasing trend at certain time points during and after music exposure, these changes did not reach statistical significance after adjusting for multiple comparisons. The experimental group had a shorter time to regain birth weight (6.07 ± 2.47 days) compared to the control group (8.93 ± 4.31 days) and a shorter time of intravenous nutrition (8.6 ± 3.87 days vs. 11.66 ± 5.85 days). The experimental group also exhibited a lower fasting rate, a faster-sucking speed, a lower hospital stay (10.36 ± 4.36 days vs. 12.46 ± 5.73 days), lower cost, higher NBNA scores, and a lower re-hospitalization rate within 3 months after the first discharge.

conclusionsEarly music intervention may contribute to the growth and development of preterm infants, improve feeding, reduce hospitalization duration and costs, and improve short-term prognosis, though effects on respiratory rate require further study with a larger sample size.
