The effect of the prone and side lying position by using the positioning bed on the comfort of the preterm baby.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundThe study was carried out experimentally to determine the effect of prone and side-lying position on the comfort of preterm infants using positioning bed in preterm infants hospitalized in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
methodThe sample of the study consisted of 33 preterm babies. Research data were collected with the Baby Information Form, Newborn Follow-up Form, Neonatal Position Assessment Tool (NPAT) and Premature Infant Comfort Scale (PICS) developed by the researchers.
resultsThere was a significant difference between pre-test and first hour scores and between pre-test and second hour scores in NPAT scores of preterms in prone position.
conclusionIn conclusion, it is thought that the position bed used affects comfort more than the baby’s position in this study. For increasing the comfort of the preterm baby and support its development it is recommended to use a position bed when positioning the baby and that the position to be given is primarily prone position.
