Enhancing Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Paternal Satisfaction: A Comparative Study of Traditional vs. Generative AI-Integrated Counseling.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAdmission of a newborn to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a stressful experience for parents. Effective communication is critical but often constrained by time and variability in clinician delivery. Integrating AI chatbots like ChatGPT may improve parental satisfaction.
methodsIn this observational study conducted in a Level III NICU in North India, 180 fathers were quasi-randomly assigned to receive either traditional clinician-led counseling or AI-integrated counseling using ChatGPT. The primary outcome was paternal satisfaction, measured by a custom-developed 10-item NICU Parental Satisfaction Score (range: 10-50).
resultsThe AI-integrated group reported significantly higher satisfaction scores (median: 41, IQR: 40-50) compared to the traditional group (median: 35, IQR: 30-45, p < 0.0001). No participant in the AI group scored <30, whereas 25% of the traditional group did. Baseline demographics and neonatal characteristics were comparable.
conclusionGenerative AI-enhanced counseling improved parental experience in the NICU without compromising clinician interaction. With proper safeguards and clinician oversight, AI integration can enhance clarity, accessibility, and empathy in neonatal communication.
