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

The transition of preterm infants from hospital to caregiver-based care is challenging due to unpreparedness in newborn care. Caregiver training may facilitate transition, but evidence thereof is limited. This study assessed the safety and feasibility of transitioning stable preterm neonates from the NICU to the postnatal ward after implementing a NICU-based protocolized maternal training programme. 'Stable' 28-33 wk neonates transitioned to 'ready' mothers were followed for defined outcomes, which were compared with historical unit data. The mean gestation and birth weight (n = 73) were 31 wk and 1450 g, respectively. Seventy-one neonates (97.2%, 95% CI: 89.9-99.8) were transitioned successfully, with two (2.7%) requiring NICU readmission. The weekly weight gain was 16.5 (8) g/kg/d, with a hospital stay of 25 (17-36) d, and 100% maternal 'absolute satisfaction' at discharge. The mean weight-for-age Z-score was -1.23, and the exclusive breastfeeding proportion was 57.5% at follow-up. Outcomes compared favourably with comparators, concluding that it is safe and feasible to transition stable preterm neonates.
