Effect of premature infant oral motor intervention (PIOMI) and pacifier intervention on the transition to oral feeding in preterm infants: A randomized controlled study.

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
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of premature infant oral motor intervention (PIOMI) and pacifier intervention on the transition to full oral feeding in preterm infants.
methodsThis is a randomized controlled trial conducted between January 2021 and April 2023 in a neonatal intensive care unit in Eskişehir, Turkey. Preterm infants born between 29 and 34 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Infants were assigned to the groups by stratified randomization method. The study was completed with a total of 39 infants, 13 infants in each group (PIOMI, pacifier, and control). Data were collected using the "Preterm Infant Demographic Information Form," "Feeding Monitor Form," and "Early Feeding Skills Assessment Tool (EFS)." Statistical analysis used paired sample t-tests, ANOVA, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis H, and Pearson-χ
resultsIn the research findings, it was determined that infants receiving PIOMI and pacifier intervention had a shorter length of stay, transition to full oral feeding compared to infants in the control group, and consumed a higher amount of feed in the first minute (p < .05). The infants in the PIOMI group started full oral feeding on average 3 days earlier than the infants in the pacifier group and were discharged approximately 4 days earlier (p > .05). It was determined that infants in the PIOMI group had significantly higher EFS-total compared to infants in the control group.
conclusionsPIOMI intervention and pacifier intervention should be included in nursing care in neonatal intensive care units to improve the oral feeding skills of preterm infants and shorten their discharge time.
