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
Background: Premature infants, defined as those born before 37 weeks of gestation, are at elevated risk for neurodevelopmental delay due to incomplete organ maturation and heightened vulnerability to neurological impairment during the critical early postnatal period. Family care plays a crucial role during their growth process, yet the traditional nursing model has substantial temporal and spatial limitations. Telemedicine models offer a promising new solution for the family care of premature infants; however, existing research examining the impact of telemedicine-based interventions on neurodevelopmental outcomes has notable deficiencies, including limited sample sizes, short follow-up periods, and inconsistent outcome measures, leaving the overall effectiveness of such interventions not yet fully established. Methods: This single-center randomized controlled trial enrolled 186 premature infants admitted to the neonatal department of Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2023 to December 2024. Infants were randomly assigned to an observation group ( Results: After the 6-month intervention, the observation group demonstrated significantly higher scores across all domains of the Bayley Scales (cognitive: 87.6 ± 4.9 vs. 81.3 ± 4.5, Cohen's d = 1.34; language: 85.2 ± 4.6 vs. 79.1 ± 4.2, Cohen's d = 1.39; motor: 86.3 ± 4.7 vs. 80.5 ± 4.3, Cohen's d = 1.29; all Conclusion: Family care guidance for premature infants based on a telemedicine model can effectively improve multiple neurodevelopmental assessment indicators and daily behavioral outcomes. This intervention addresses previous research limitations by employing rigorous randomization, standardized outcome measures, and adequate sample size, thereby providing robust evidence for an efficient and convenient new approach for family care of premature infants that is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
