Parenting experiences of informal caregivers of preterm infants during the first 2 years of life at corrected age: a qualitative systematic review protocol.
Article in JBI evidence synthesis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe objective of this review is to synthesize qualitative evidence on the parenting experiences of informal caregivers of preterm infants during their corrected age of 2 years.
introductionPreterm infants, born before 37 weeks' gestation, are at high risk of growth and neurodevelopmental delays. The parenting journey for these infants presents unique challenges from birth to the transition home, particularly during the infants' corrected age of 2 years. Understanding informal caregivers' experiences during this critical time enables health care providers to deliver timely and appropriate interventions for both caregivers and infants; however, qualitative evidence synthesizing this area of research remains limited. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: This review will examine qualitative data on the parenting experiences (ie, challenges) of informal caregivers of preterm infants from birth to a corrected age of 2 years. Informal caregivers may include parents, grandparents, and other relatives (biological or non-biological) who have a personal relationship with the infant. All informal caregivers will be included, regardless of age, gender, or social or marital status. Caregivers of infants with congenital anomalies or chromosomal abnormalities will be excluded from the review.
methodsThis review will adhere to the JBI approach for qualitative systematic reviews. The search strategy aims to identify both published and unpublished studies, with no restrictions on publication year. Studies published in English or Thai will be sourced from PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and Embase (EBSCOhost). Additionally, sources of unpublished studies and gray literature will be explored, including the Mahidol University Library Catalog (OPAC), Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD), and ThaiJo (Thai Journals Online). Two reviewers will independently assess the methodological validity of the selected qualitative papers prior to their inclusion in the review. Data synthesis will employ the meta-aggregation approach, and the synthesized findings will be evaluated using the ConQual approach. REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42024606504.
