Effect of a portable therapeutic baby nest designed for neonates on physiological parameters, comfort and pain levels during venous blood sampling: a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Emergency medicine journal : EMJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05442619 (Developing a Portable Therapeutic Baby Nest for Newborns and Evaluation of the Effect on Comfort and Pain Levels During Venous Blood Collection), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundIn Turkey, paediatric emergency departments often lack the specialised environments required for invasive procedures on neonates. Given their developmental vulnerability, it is crucial to use interventions that reduce discomfort and support physiological stability. This study introduces the portable therapeutic baby nest (PTBN), designed to provide developmentally supportive care aligned with the principles of the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program.
methodsThis two-phase study included 80 term neonates (40 per group). First, the PTBN was developed from February to April 2022. Second, its effectiveness was evaluated through a randomized controlled trial conducted from May to September 2022. The experimental group underwent venous blood sampling in the PTBN, and the control group on a standard stretcher. All procedures were video-recorded and assessed by two blinded nurses using the Physiological Parameter Monitoring Form, COMFORTneo and Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS).
resultsBaseline characteristics were similar across groups (p>0.05). During and after sampling, the PTBN group had significantly lower heart and respiratory rates, higher oxygen saturation and lower NIPS and COMFORTneo scores compared with controls (p<0.05).
conclusionThe PTBN improved physiological stability, comfort and pain outcomes during venous sampling in neonates. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05442619.
