Association of parental holding during therapeutic hypothermia and NICU outcomes for infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 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
objectiveTo examine associations between parental holding during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) outcomes among infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). STUDY
designRetrospective cohort of 379 infants with HIE at two level IV NICUs (2017-2024). Unadjusted and adjusted regression models evaluated associations between holding during TH and NICU outcomes.
resultOverall, 28% of infants were held during TH. Holding was less common among infants with greater clinical severity, public insurance, or those identified as Hispanic, Asian, or Black. After adjustment for clinical and sociodemographic factors, holding was associated with faster time to full oral feeding (HR = 1.4, p < 0.01), earlier age at full oral feeding (HR = 1.6, p < 0.01), shorter hospitalization (β = -7.5, p = 0.02), and higher odds of breastmilk feeding at discharge (OR = 3.2, p = 0.03).
conclusionParental holding during TH is associated with favorable short-term NICU outcomes, supporting its potential role as a family-centered care practice during neonatal neurocritical care.
