Outcomes of Clinically Stable 34-Week Preterm Infants Managed in Rooming-In Versus Neonatal Unit Admission.
Observational study in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 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
aimThe aim of this study was to compare the outcomes and complications of infants born at 34 gestational weeks (GW) clinically stable between those admitted with their mother and those admitted separately.
methodsRetrospective observational study at a tertiary hospital that included stable infants born at 34 GW between January 2021 and December 2025. Feeding outcomes, complications, and length of stay were compared between infants admitted in rooming-in with the mother (RI) and those admitted to the neonatal unit (NU).
results121 infants were included (RI: 57; NU: 64), with similar baseline characteristics. Infants in RI had earlier skin-to-skin contact (RI: 0 h (IQR 0); NU: 1 h (IQR 14.2); p < 0.001) and colostrum exposure (RI: 2 h (IQR 3.2); NU: 5.5 h (IQR 8.2); p < 0.001), with higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 15 days post-discharge (RI: 63.2%; NU: 37.5%; p = 0.005). They required less nasogastric tube feeding (RI: 10.5%; NU: 76.6%; p < 0.001) and were discharged earlier (RI: 8 days (IQR 7); NU: 19 days (IQR 14); p < 0.001), without increased complications.
conclusionRI is a model of care for clinically stable infants born at 34 GW that, in our population, improves early contact and feeding outcomes and reduces hospital stay without more complications than admission to the neonatal unit, supporting the importance of zero-separation policies.
