Optimal Discharge Education: Evidence for Enhancing Family Preparedness for Premature Infants.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: The study aimed to systematically search, screen, evaluate, and synthesize evidence regarding the effectiveness of discharge education in enhancing family preparedness for premature infants. The ultimate goal was to provide evidence-based references for implementing discharge education for family caregivers, thereby improving families' discharge readiness and enhancing home care and infant health. Methods: Systematic searches were conducted across BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, the Cochrane Library, and other relevant databases from October 2014 to October 2024. The collected literature comprised clinical decisions, guidelines, expert consensuses, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, best practices, and randomized controlled trials related to discharge education for enhancing family preparedness for premature infants. Relevant evaluation tools were selected based on the type of literature to assess methodological quality, and the evidence was extracted, summarized, and organized. Results: A total of 1724 documents were searched. Ultimately, ten pieces of literature were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, comprising one clinical decision, one guideline, one expert consensus, two systematic reviews, one meta-analysis, one best practice, and three randomized controlled trials. From these literature, a total of thirty-three pieces of evidence were extracted and synthesized across five domains: assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, and support. Conclusion: This study synthesized evidence on discharge education for premature infant' families, revealing key insights for clinical practice. It emphasized tailored education plans, early family involvement, multidisciplinary collaboration, and diverse teaching methods. Implementing these practices is expected to improve families' discharge readiness, thereby promoting better infant health.
