Barriers and facilitators to neurodevelopmental follow-up among at-risk newborns across Washington State.
Article in Research square, 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
Objective: Identify barriers and facilitators to neurodevelopmental follow-up (NDFU) for high-risk neonates in Washington (WA). Study Design: Cross-sectional, mixed-methods study of NDFU centers and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across WA to characterize NDFU referral and scheduling practices and identify barriers and facilitators to NDFU attendance. Results: Response rates were 84% for NDFU centers and 94% for NICUs. Barriers to NDFU attendance included logistical limitations (n=10, 63%) and scheduling processes (n=10, 63%), while facilitators included provider relationships and communication (n=8, 50%) and community-based access (n=8, 50%). No NICU respondent reported receiving any post-discharge communication from NDFU centers regarding patient developmental outcomes. Conclusion: Integrating anticipatory guidance and family education before NICU discharge with home-based services and telehealth may improve access to essential developmental follow-up care in this high-risk population. Interventions to increase NDFU attendance should prioritize family-centered communication, reduced logistical burdens, and flexible models of care delivery.
