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

The primary aim of the present study is to examine the literature regarding the advantages and disadvantages of single-family room (SFR) care for neonatal outcomes. The researchers used the systematic review approach, where several databases were used, including PubMed, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cochrane, and Scopus, using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) as a methodological path to identify, screen, and select the studies that were included in the current research and analyzed to extract the information needed for the achievement of the research objectives. The results revealed that neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) can be improved structurally and operationally, which may lead to better outcomes for premature infants and their families. One promising strategy is to provide SFRs within the NICU. SFRs increase the chances for a neonate and their family to have uninterrupted time together.
