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

Families of infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are at an increased risk for depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms that often persist well beyond transition from the NICU. While NICU professionals provide vital medical care for high-risk infants, they also offer interdisciplinary support for families, including collaboration with psychosocial and psychiatric services in select settings. Despite psychosocial support systems often being present during NICU hospitalization, significant gaps remain in post-NICU mental health support for parents. Comprehensive discharge preparation and outpatient follow-up planning for infants, as well as their families, are essential to optimize both long-term outcomes and the well-being of the entire family unit. In this paper, we review current evidence regarding mental health risks for families during transitions of care and highlight practice recommendations and advocacy opportunities for enhanced family-centered, interdisciplinary follow-up care after transition from the NICU.
