Family integrated care reduces stress in transferred parents of preterm infants, but not across all families: a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial.
Trial report in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05343403 (Collaborating to Improve Neonatal Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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

Abstract
objectiveTo assess whether Family Integrated Care (FICare) model including Family-Centered Rounds (FCR) reduces parental stress in neonatal wards. STUDY
designA multicenter, stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial was conducted in ten level II neonatal wards in The Netherlands (March 2022-December 2023). Participants included parents of 613 infants hospitalized for ≥7 days. The primary outcome was parental stress at discharge (PSS:NICU scale). Secondary outcomes included parental participation, anxiety, trauma, depression, shared decision-making, and bonding.
resultsFICare significantly increased parental participation (P < 0.001) but did not reduce overall stress at discharge (FICare 61.2 vs. SNC 62.5, P = 0.21). Trauma symptoms in partners decreased (P = 0.03), and parents of transferred infants showed reduced stress (P = 0.01).
conclusionWhile FICare improved parental involvement, overall stress reduction was limited, with benefits seen in reduced trauma symptoms in partners and a reduction of stress in parents of transferred infants.
