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
Introduction: Parental experience in neonatal intensive care units strongly impacts family satisfaction and emotional well-being. Objectives: This study explored associations between parental neonatal intensive care unit experience, sociodemographic and hospitalization factors, and anxiety-depressive symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 84 parents of neonatal intensive care unit-admitted infants. Measures included parental experience (EMPATHIC-N), satisfaction with professionals, and anxiety-depressive symptoms (PHQ-4), along with sociodemographic and hospitalization data. Analyses comprised descriptive statistics, group comparisons, correlations, and mediation modeling. Results: Participants were mainly highly educated European mothers. Most infants stayed <1 week; parental participation occurred 1day-6 months post-discharge. Families reported high willingness to return (77.1%) and recommend the neonatal intensive care unit (79.5%). Satisfaction with nurses and physicians was high (8.3/10), though four EMPATHIC-N items scored below 75%. Anxiety-depressive symptoms were present in 24.4%, inversely correlating with satisfaction and some specific EMPATHIC-N items. Mediation analysis showed healthcare team satisfaction explained 70% of the effect of parental experience on anxiety-depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Satisfaction with the healthcare team plays a central role in the emotional distress of parents after their experience in the neonatal intensive care unit, so improving care initiatives that enhance it could reduce anxiety and depression in parents.
