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

backgroundParental presence at bedside is a critical component of family-centered care for infants admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and their caregivers, allowing for engagement with baby as well as education from the care team. LOCAL PROBLEM: Many families face barriers to physical presence, including transportation, childcare responsibilities, work, and illness, among others.

interventionsTelehealth can be an avenue for parents to be engaged while not directly at bedside. This project details efforts to launch virtual visits in a Level III NICU, including challenges and lessons learned, across 4 PDSA cycles.

methodsWe measured the percentage of families on the NICU who attended 4 or more cares sessions per week. We obtained survey responses and open-ended feedback about the implementation from staff and patients.

resultsFamily engagement rates were higher during active PDSA cycles at trending significance level. Most providers and parents rated the intervention as highly feasible and satisfying. Attendance in cares sessions improved across the QI project, especially for families with public insurance.

conclusionsWe found that telehealth visits were able to lessen the disparities in cares participation rates between families with private insurance and families with public insurance.
