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
Objectives: This study aimed to develop a structured, culturally responsive neurodevelopmental care framework for preterm infants during the first three months following the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge, based on research evidence and multidisciplinary expert consensus in Iran. Materials & Methods: A two-phase study was conducted. First, a scoping review (2000-2024) identified key domains and items for post-discharge care. Second, a panel of 24 multidisciplinary experts completed a two-round Delphi survey. Consensus was defined as 75% agreement or higher and a mean Likert score of 3.75 or above on a five-point scale. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed in accordance with Delphi study guidelines. Results: The finalized framework comprises 57 items categorized across eight primary domains. Expert agreement ranged from 87% to 95%, with mean Likert scores ranging from 4.42 to 4.65. Positioning and postural care showed the highest agreement (95% t, mean = 4.57). Experts emphasized continuity of care, parent-mediated interventions, and integration of developmental, emotional, and environmental components. Conclusion: This culturally adapted, family-centered framework provides structured post-discharge neurodevelopmental care for preterm infants. It promotes infants' motor, sensory, cognitive, and emotional development while supporting parental empowerment and psychological well-being, potentially optimizing early neurodevelopmental outcomes in home-based care settings.
