Stable Trends in Clinical Outcomes Before Introduction of Couplet Care in a Danish Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

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
aimPrior to the implementation of couplet care in 2025, knowledge of clinical outcomes was central to support feasibility and future evaluation. We aimed to review trends on mode of delivery, duration of respiratory support, nutrition at discharge and weight gain.
methodsThis was a descriptive register-based study that used data from a local database, Neobase. The database consisted of prospectively collected data on all infants admitted and discharged from a neonatal intensive care unit in the Capital Region of Denmark. Demographic and clinical data in the period of 2018-2024 were retrieved and analysed.
resultsWe included 4969 infants with a mean gestational age of 37, 6 weeks and a mean birth weight of 2926 g. Vaginal birth was the most frequent mode of delivery. However, a slight upward trend in Caesarean section was observed. The majority of infants were discharged on their mothers' milk. The median duration of respiratory support remained stable at 1 day, and the median weight gain remained zero throughout the study period.
conclusionKey outcomes considered sensitive to couplet care remained stable over the seven-year period. These findings establish an essential reference for the prospective evaluation of couplet care, as well as its feasibility in practice.
