Family-clinician interactions in children's health services: a secondary analysis of occupational therapists' practice descriptions.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2015. 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
backgroundEffective family-clinician interactions are important for good health outcomes. Two types of interactions are consistently recommended: relational (e.g. listening, empathy, and respect) and participatory (e.g. shared decision-making, planning and problem-solving), but there is little specific guidance on how to implement these interactions in practice.
objectiveTo identify specific, practice-based examples of relational and participatory family-clinician interactions in children's occupational therapy.
designA qualitative secondary analysis was used. The data consisted of a list of occupational therapists' self-reported practice actions (n = 217) and direct quotes describing their content and context. The practice actions were categorized into a range of relational and participatory family-centred interactions using a modified framework analysis.
resultsOf the 217 practice actions, the majority [121 (55.76%)] did not describe examples of therapists implementing family-clinician interactions. Of the remaining practice actions, 19 (8.76%) described 'relational' interactions (e.g. 'Listen to carer', 'Gather perspectives from others'); 47 (21.66%) described 'participatory' interactions (e.g. 'Identify the family's goals and priorities', 'Allow the family to choose'); 2 (0.92%) described both ('Take guidance from carers'); and 28 (12.9%) were excluded from the analysis. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsA range of relational and participatory interactions were identified. Descriptions of participatory interactions were more frequent than descriptions of relational interactions, and overall the therapists described their family-clinician interactions less frequently than their other practice actions. The specific, real-life examples of different types of interactions identified in the study can be used as a basis for reflection on practice and developing more specific guidance.
