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
backgroundCouplet Care, which allows mothers and newborns to receive treatment together, has gained prominence in neonatal and maternity care settings. This model supports early bonding, skin-to-skin contact, and breastfeeding, benefiting both preterm and sick newborns. PURPOSE: The study aims to explore parents' experiences with Couplet Care after a caesarean section in an integrated neonatal and maternity unit, where both mother and newborn required treatment.
methodsA qualitative, semi-structured interview approach was employed. Eight mothers and 6 fathers participated, sharing their perspectives on Couplet Care through interviews conducted at a Danish hospital setting providing Couplet Care in 6 family rooms in a level II neonatal intensive care unit. Data were analyzed using content analysis inspired by Graneheim and Lundman.
resultsParents initially relied heavily on nurses, gradually gaining autonomy as their hospital stay progressed. Fathers played an essential role in caregiving, especially when mothers were immobile post-surgery. The study highlighted the importance of clear communication from nurses, which fostered parental confidence. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND RESEARCH: Couplet Care offers a supportive environment that promotes parental autonomy and emphasizes the critical role fathers play in caregiving. Future research should investigate the long-term effects on family dynamics and the mental health of both mothers and fathers following caesarean sections in similar settings.
