Parents' Perceptions of Their Involvement in Their Babies' Care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Study in Northern Ghana.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Objective: The study explored parental views on their involvement in caring for their children admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at a hospital in Northern Ghana. Methods: A qualitative descriptive exploratory design was used with 15 purposively sampled parents aged between 20 and 40 years. A semistructured interview guide was used to conduct the interviews with the participants. All interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed using content analysis principles. Results: Two themes were generated from the study. The first theme captured parents' perception of their involvement in care, with the subthemes being parents' understanding of involvement in the care of their children, parental involvement in the care of their children at the NICU, and their views on nurses' attitude toward parental involvement in the care of their children. The second theme was the benefits of parental involvement in care at NICU, with the subthemes being parents' benefits of their involvement in the care and parental views of nurses' benefits of parental involvement in care at NICU. Conclusion: Parents need to get involved in the care of their children admitted to the NICU. Nurses should teach parents some basic care activities during their children's admission. This will sharpen their skills to care for their children at home and increase their satisfaction with the services at the unit.
