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

Objective: This quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed to increase skin-to-skin care (SSC) and positive parental touch (PPT) rates to >90 % among infants <32 weeks' gestation in a Level IV NICU. Methods: Guided by a key driver diagram, interventions were implemented through three Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles: developmental rounds (month 1), parent education (month 6), and the Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences program (month 8). We evaluated PPT within 72 h of birth, SSC within the first week of life, and time to first SSC during the development, implementation, and sustainability phases. Results: SSC rates increased from 71 % (development) to 93 % (implementation) and 94 % (sustainability). PPT rates sustained at 98 % during the implementation and sustainability phases. No increases in unplanned extubation or intraventricular hemorrhage were observed. Conclusion: A structured, multidisciplinary approach improved and sustained SSC rates for preterm infants without adverse effects.
