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

Parents of infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) frequently experience significant emotional distress, yet neonatology fellows receive limited training in psychosocial support. This study evaluates the use of online standardized-patient simulation to improve fellows' communication skills addressing parent concerns. Fellows (n = 13) completed two virtual interactions with standardized parents, with feedback from a neonatal mental health professional (NMHP), a former NICU parent, and a neonatologist using narrative comments and the Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Skills Assessment Scale. Narrative data underwent thematic analysis, and a within-subjects, repeated measures ANOVA examined communication ratings; knowledge and self-efficacy scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Communication scores differed significantly across raters (F(2, 24) = 6.2,
