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
Infants born preterm present a higher likelihood of differences in social and emotional communication. Crying, as the earliest form of human communication, may provide valuable information about early neurodevelopment. Understanding its acoustic characteristics and how caregivers perceive it can help identify early patterns linked to communication and emotional regulation. Although several studies have explored crying in different clinical and developmental contexts, research focusing specifically on preterm infants (PT) remains fragmented. This study aimed to review and synthesize studies on PT crying and infant colic, including acoustic features, perception by adults, and correlations with developmental outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted including observational studies assessing crying in children under 36 months. Searches were performed in Web of Science, SCOPUS, and EBSCO. Study quality and bias were evaluated using STROBE and a modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Fifty-three studies met inclusion criteria. Fundamental frequency (f
