1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo explore experiences of parents of children with disabilities using the WWW, roadmap, a tool to support them in exploring needs, finding information, and asking questions of professionals and to explore differences between parents who had used the WWW-roadmap to prepare for consultation with their rehabilitation physician and parents who had not.

methodsIn a sequential cohort study, we included 128 parents; 54 used the WWW-roadmap prior to consultation and 74 received care-as-usual. Both groups completed questionnaires after consultation, assessing empowerment, self-efficacy, parent and physician satisfaction, family centredness of care, and experiences using the tool. Additionally, 13 parents were interviewed.

resultsParents who used the WWW-roadmap looked up more information on the Internet. No other differences between parents and physicians were found. In the interviews, parents said that the WWW-roadmap was a useful tool for looking up information, exploring and asking questions, and maintaining a comprehensive picture.

conclusionUsing the WWW-roadmap prior to consultation did not improve self-efficacy, satisfaction, or family centredness of care. Findings suggest positive experiences regarding factors determining empowerment, creating conditions for a more equal parent-physician relationship. The WWW-roadmap is useful for parents to explore their needs and find information, but more is needed to support empowerment in consultations.
