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

objectiveEvaluate the impact of prenatal workshops for parents whose baby would be admitted to the NICU because of prematurity or congenital anomalies. STUDY

designThe workshop was developed and optimized in a needs assessment and pilot phase. During the prospective phase, future NICU parents were offered participation in the workshop; their perspectives were investigated using mixed methods.

resultsA total of 152 parents participated. They evaluated the workshop at 9.6/10 on average. Almost all (98%) agreed/strongly agreed that the workshop was useful, that it helped them prepare for the birth (95%), made them feel less lonely (90%) and that exchanges with other parents were beneficial (92%). All answers to open-ended questions were positive. After the birth, 90% remembered the workshop and 90% would recommend it to other parents.

conclusionPrenatal educational workshop provides a unique and useful means to support future NICU parents and prepare them for the NICU hospitalization.
