[Accompanying parents' spiritual needs in neonatal care].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSpirituality in the field of neonatology begins with the care of pregnant women at risk of premature birth. This existential threat at the very beginning of life inevitably leads to a need for spiritual support. One major focus of care in prematurity is on building a bond between parents and child, which is fundamental for the child's further development.
objectivesTo identify the spiritual needs of parents in perinatal care and to demonstrate a possible way to meeting these needs.
methodsThis work is based on case reports, identification of topics, and a systematic literature search.
resultsThe identified studies show considerable heterogeneity, e.g., regarding research questions and neonatal care settings. Across studies, spirituality was consistently found to play a significant role in perinatology, closely associated with parents' existential anxiety, which can interfere with the development of the parent-infant relationship. Parents consistently expressed the expectation that their spiritual needs are recognized; however, these needs were often inadequately addressed by the perinatal care team.
conclusionSpirituality is among the essential needs of parents of preterm infants in the intensive care unit. It enables parents to reduce stressors and thereby facilitates the establishment of a parent-infant relationship.
