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

objectiveTo identify nursing and parent-perceived barriers and facilitators to adherence to safe sleep practices in a level IV NICU. STUDY

design20 NICU nurses and 10 parents of infants who were hospitalized in a level IV NICU within the past year participated in this qualitative study. Themes from coded interview transcripts were identified utilizing deductive thematic analysis.

resultsBarriers and facilitators to safe sleep practices spanned across individual-, unit-, and community-levels. The significance of cultural preferences and traditions, hands-on practice and direct modeling, developmental positioning tools and reflux precautions, inter-team communication and consistency, different learning styles, and caregiver stress associated with NICU stays emerged as key themes.

conclusionWe identified several barriers and facilitators of effective safe sleep modeling in the NICU from both nursing and parent perspectives. These insights will help to inform a collaborative, family-centered, and sustainable approach to integrating safe sleep practices in the NICU.
