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
Background: Prematurity remains a global health challenge, with preterm infants' immaturity placing significant caregiving demands on mothers. Objectives: This study aimed to assess mothers' discharge readiness for preterm infants and explore influencing factors using structural equation modeling to inform discharge preparation plans. Design: Cross-sectional study. Settings: Three Level Ⅲ hospitals in western China. Participants: From July, 2023, to February 2024, 258 mothers of preterm infants were included in the study. Methods: The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale assessed mothers' discharge readiness. Relevant factors were evaluated using General Information Questionnaire, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS; hypotheses were tested with AMOS. Results: Mean discharge readiness score was 198.70±29.60. Significant direct effects included gestational age (β=0.31), household income (β=0.13), online learning (β=0.18), bedside learning (β=0.20), anxiety (β=-0.24), and perception of discharge teaching quality (β=0.36). A chain mediation effect was observed among bedside learning, discharge teaching quality, anxiety, and discharge readiness. Gestational age cutoff of 224.5 days (≈32 weeks) was identified for targeting interventions. Conclusion: Mothers' discharge readiness for preterm infants was inadequate. Discharge teaching emerges as the most significant target intervention. In clinical practice, emphasis should be placed on guiding mothers of preterm infants with gestational ages <32 weeks. This can be achieved by integrating online study with bedside learning to enhance discharge teaching quality, thereby reducing anxiety levels, promoting mothers' discharge readiness for preterm infants, and facilitating a smooth transition to home care.
