Immediate Effects of a Novel Preterm Positioning Device on Physiological Stability in a Low Birth Weight Preterm Neonate: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit often require supportive positioning to promote comfort, physiological stability, and appropriate postural alignment. This case report describes the immediate physiological response of a medically stable low birth weight preterm infant during a single 120-minute positioning session using a novel preterm positioning device. A male infant born at 35 weeks of gestation was positioned in the supine position after achieving clinical stability at 37 weeks of gestation, and heart rate, respiratory rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation were monitored throughout the session. The infant remained clinically stable, with all physiological parameters staying within normal limits and no adverse events observed. The positioning device was well tolerated during routine care and appeared to support physiological stability. Although these findings are encouraging, further research involving larger groups of preterm infants is needed to determine the clinical effectiveness and longer-term benefits of this positioning approach.
