1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The huge prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders underscores the necessity for novel, comprehensive prevention strategies for neuroprotective intervention, particularly in preterm infants. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of healthcare services, emphasizing the use of digital resources. Given the rapid brain development in infants in the first 1,000 days of life and the demonstrated impact of adaptive neuroplasticity, the implementation of early and ecological interventions are essential for supporting optimal neurodevelopment in this vulnerable population. Aim of this project is to develop a digital tool for parent-led parent-based intervention and assess its feasibility and accessibility. Materials and methods: We collected evidence on early intervention strategies for preterm infants through a non-systematic review of current literature to develop the platform and created an ad-hoc questionnaire to evaluate the tool's feasibility and acceptability in our neurological follow-up. Results: "NE@R" is a digital platform designed to support neurodevelopment through parents-delivered play. The platform offers evidence-based information, videos, and practical activities to enhance motor, cognitive, social, and language development at each developmental phase. We introduce the resource in our clinical setting and collect 100 preterm infants' families feedback. The majority of parents reported finding the resource beneficial, with many expressing increased confidence in supporting their child's development. Discussion: Preterm babies families' support represents a precious field of intervention both for parents and infants at risk. "NE@R" has proven to be an effective, low-cost tool within our follow-up program, aligning with the principles of family-centered care.
