Family Integrated Care in Single Family Rooms and Neonatal Outcomes in Preterm Infants: A Multicenter Cohort Study.
Article in Neonatology, 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
<p>Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the effect of Family Integrated Care (FICare) in single family rooms (SFR) on infant outcomes, compared with standard neonatal care (SNC) in open bay units (OBU).
methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted in three Dutch level II neonatal units. Preterm infants hospitalized ≥7 days were included between 2017 and 2020. The intervention site provided FICare in SFR; control sites provided SNC in OBU. Predefined secondary outcomes included length of stay (LOS), breastfeeding, growth, late-onset sepsis, days with tube feeding (TF), respiratory support and intravenous access, discharge with TF, and readmissions. Linear mixed models accounting for multiple births, and exploratory mediation analyses, were used.
resultsA total of 358 infants were included (169 FICare; 189 SNC; median gestational age 33+3 weeks [interquartile range 30+5-35+0]). FICare was associated with a 9% reduction in LOS (adjusted mean ratio [aMR] 0.91 ≈ 2 days, 95% CI 0.84-0.99). Infants in the FICare group were more likely to be discharged with TF (adjusted odds ratio 5.77, 95% CI 2.25-14.79) and had fewer days with TF in hospital (aMR 0.79, 95% CI 0.66-0.94) and intravenous access (adjusted incidence rate ratio 0.55, 95% CI 0.39-0.76), while maintaining similar growth and readmission rates. Days with TF and intravenous access fully mediated the effect on LOS (adjusted total indirect effect 0.91, 95% CI 0.85-0.97). Other outcomes did not differ.
conclusionsFICare in SFR was associated with decreased LOS, mediated by acquiring feeding skills. Further research should include robust study designs, including diverse parental populations. </p>.
