Negative Results in Neonatal Trials: Clinical Lessons and Future Directions – A Narrative Review

Properly interpreted negative trials hold significant value in neonatal research. These studies help avoid unnecessary interventions, ensuring more efficient use of resources, and guide future research directions. Despite often being undervalued or overlooked, they remain fundamental to advancing evidence-based neonatal care. Enhanced reporting and interpretation of these findings could greatly benefit both clinical practice and research development in the neonatal population.
