1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPreterm birth affects about 10% of births globally, often resulting in neurodevelopmental delays and disrupted parent-infant bonding. In low-resource settings, such as South Africa, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) interventions require contextual adaptation. The NeuroSense PremmieEd Parenting Educational Intervention (PremmieSense) was developed to strengthen parent-infant bonding and promote neuroprotective care during NICU admission.

objectivesTo describe the development, components, and pilot delivery of the PremmieSense intervention using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) framework and document contextual adaptations and implementation lessons in low-resource NICUs. APPROACH: This project report outlines PremmieSense according to TIDieR. The programme comprises a picture-based booklet in English and Setswana, supplemented by facilitator-led group sessions delivered by trained healthcare professionals. It was piloted at two public-sector NICUs in the North West province of South Africa (

findingsPremmieSense was feasible and acceptable in low-resource NICUs. Logistical challenges including early discharges, staff constraints and language needs required pragmatic adaptations. The modular, multilingual design supported flexible delivery. TIDieR reporting facilitates replication and contextual adaptation. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: PremmieSense shows promise as a culturally appropriate and adaptable intervention for resource-constrained NICUs. Future work should tailor content to gestational age, prior parenting experience, and literacy, expand implementation, and assess long-term outcomes.
