Application of Music Intervention Combined with Multidimensional Nursing in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of music intervention with multidimensional nursing in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analysed 100 VLBW infants admitted to our hospital between January 2023 and November 2024. The subjects were divided into two groups based on intervention methods as follows: the multidimensional nursing group received multidimensional nursing (n = 43), and the music therapy group received additional music intervention (n = 57). Physiological parameters (heart rate [HR], respiratory rate [RR], oxygen saturation [SpO2]), sleep architecture, growth velocity, cortisol levels, Newborn Comfort Behavior scale (COMFORTneo), Neonatal Infant Pain scale (NIPS), time to achieve full oral feeding (FOF) and hospitalisation duration were compared between groups.
resultsAfter the intervention, compared with the multidimensional nursing group, the music therapy group demonstrated greater reductions in HR and RR and higher SpO2 levels (P < 0.05), exhibited longer total sleep duration and fewer awakenings (P < 0.05) and achieved higher weight gain and head circumference expansion rates (P < 0.05). Salivary cortisol decreased in both groups, but significantly lower values were observed in the music therapy group compared with the multidimensional nursing group (P < 0.05). Compared with the multidimensional nursing group, the music therapy group displayed lower COMFORTneo and NIPS scores (P < 0.05), earlier FOF time and shorter hospitalisation duration (P < 0.001).
conclusionMusic therapy combined with multimaintenance nursing considerably improves physiologic stability, growth and feeding tolerance in VLBW infants and increases stress resistance.
