Three-Stage Care Experiences and Needs of Parents With Children in NICU: A Qualitative Meta-Synthesis.
Synthesis in Nursing open, 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
aimTo explore the care experiences and needs of parents with children in the neonatal intensive care during hospitalisation, discharge transition, and home care.
designA systematic review and meta-synthesis.
methodsEight databases were searched in July 2024 for relevant publications. All qualitative and mixed-methods studies in English and Chinese that explored the three-stage care experiences and needs of parents with children in the neonatal intensive care unit were included. A qualitative meta-synthesis was performed. Two independent reviewers selected the studies and assessed quality.
resultsA total of 16 articles were included. Three themes were extracted and integrated: care experience was affected by multiple factors, care needs revealed dynamic and longitudinal changes, and measures were actively taken to obtain long-term growth. 15 sub-themes were further identified.
conclusionsParents of children in neonatal intensive care encounter various degrees of experience and requirements during hospitalisation, discharge transition, and home care. Parents face high emotional demands during the hospitalisation period; discharge transition requires high skill from parents, while home care is a period of mixed emotional and skill demands. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
