Longitudinal Analysis of Parent Communication Behaviors and Child Distress during Cancer Port Start Procedures.
Article in Pain management nursing : official journal of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses, 2018. 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 roles parents play in supporting their child during painful cancer procedures have been studied as communication strategies versus a broader caring framework and from a cross-sectional versus longitudinal perspective.
objectivesTo examine the longitudinal change in parent communication behaviors over repeated cancer port start procedures experienced by their children.
methodsThis study used a longitudinal design. Two trained raters coded 104 recorded videos of port starts from 43 children being treated for cancer. This included 25 children with two video-recorded port starts and 18 children with three (T1, T2, T3). The Parent Caring Response Scoring System derived from Swanson's Caring Theory was used to code parent communication behaviors as caring responses during their children's port starts. Three 3- to 5-minute slices (pre-port start, during, and post-port start) were coded for each video. Mixed modeling with generalized estimating equations and Friedman test were used to analyze longitudinal change in parent behaviors.
resultsSignificant differences were found between T1 versus T3 in eye contact (β = -1.05, p = .02), distance-close-enough-to-touch (β = -0.81, p = .03), nonverbal comforting (β = -1.34, p = .04), and availability (β = -0.92, p = .036), suggesting that more parents used communication behaviors at T3 compared with T1. Parent burdensome or intrusive questions (e.g., Why do you cry? β = -1.11, p = .03) and nonverbal comforting (β = -1.52, p = .047) increased from T2 to T3. The median values of parent communication behaviors overall had no significant changes from T1 to T3.
conclusionParents adjusted to use more nonverbal caring behaviors as their child experienced additional port starts. Experimental studies should be designed to help parents use caring behaviors to better support their children during cancer procedures.
