Touchless monitoring of neonatal activity-a welcome technological leap in NICU care.
Article in Pediatric research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Physiologic monitoring of the most fragile infants faces significant challenges. Sensors in traditional physiological monitoring require direct patient contact, risking skin injury and motion artifacts. Addison et al. present touchless neonatal activity monitoring using AI-powered depth-sensing cameras, achieving 93.8% sensitivity and 92.2% specificity for detecting patient motion. This contactless approach has potential implications for clinical practice both directly, such as guiding sedation management, or indirectly as a method to capture the source of motion artifacts in other vital signs. The technology eliminates skin burden and sensor maintenance challenges. Significant implementation barriers remain, primarily intensive computational requirements and diversity in physical environments and/or care practices that will require significantly more algorithm training before it is ready for deployment. This research represents meaningful progress toward alternative patient monitoring in the NICU while optimizing the patient safety burden.
