Piloting the better research interactions for every family (BRIEF) researcher intervention to support recruitment for a neonatal clinical trial: parent experience and infant enrollment.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveRecruiting for neonatal clinical trials is difficult for families and participation rates are low. We partnered with the DIVI (Darbepoetin plus slow-release IntraVenous Iron) trial for pilot feasibility evaluation of the BRIEF (Better Research Interactions for Every Family) intervention. STUDY
designPre/post design to compare infant data and parent surveys and interviews before and after the BRIEF intervention as well as comparing DIVI enrolled and DIVI not enrolled.
resultsEnrollment rates and parental experiences were similar in pre- and post-BRIEF eras. Most respondents reported positive interactions with researchers. Parents who declined DIVI reported somewhat worse experiences compared to those who enrolled. Interview respondents reported widely variable experiences. The narrow enrollment window emerged as particularly important to parents' recruitment experience.
conclusionsThe BRIEF intervention was well received and is ready for larger scale testing to assess its impact on parental experience and enrollment rates. Future work should address short enrollment windows common in neonatal clinical trials.
