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

Introduction: Educational interventions addressing counseling at extreme prematurity to date have focused on single-specialty clinicians, overlooking the important communication and collaboration required by maternal-fetal medicine and neonatology for optimal counseling. This simulation-based workshop aimed to unite maternal-fetal and neonatology clinicians to enhance interspecialty-personalized and family-focused counseling at extreme prematurity. Methods: We developed and conducted 3 half-day virtual workshops with neonatology and maternal-fetal medicine attendings and fellows utilizing a combination of didactics, scenarios with simulated participants, and facilitated debriefs, including a cofacilitator with lived patient-family neonatal intensive care unit experience. Results: A total of 26 clinicians participated in the 3 workshops. After the workshop, 92% of participants felt "more prepared" or "much more prepared" to have difficult conversations with families. Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses found key themes among participants, including increased adoption of parent-driven and personalized counseling approaches, enhanced interspecialty collaboration between maternal-fetal medicine and neonatology, and greater awareness of and efforts to mitigate bias in antenatal counseling. Discussion: This novel workshop facilitated interspecialty collaboration between maternal-fetal medicine and neonatology when counseling at extreme prematurity and emphasized relational skills, personalized counseling, and bias mitigation techniques.
