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

objectiveInvestigate clinical and system drivers of family satisfaction in the PICU.

designMixed methods qualitative and quantitative (observational) study. Qualitative interviews with families were performed as a pilot to inform modality of survey distribution based on family preferences. A validated pediatric satisfaction survey deployed to family members for 7 months with a corresponding chart review and administrative data collection.

settingPICU in a tertiary children's hospital. PATIENTS: Two hundred six families of patients admitted to the PICU more than 48 hours.

interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsFamilies preferred surveys distributed electronically on a tablet in the PICU setting. The Pediatric Family Satisfaction-ICU survey was used to assess comfort with medical decision-making and communication with the care team. Capture rate of all eligible patients was 69.5% and response rate was 90.8%. Overall, 64.7% of respondents were highly satisfied, whereas over one third were not highly satisfied; families of Hispanic ethnicity (odds ratio of lower satisfaction of families with Hispanic ethnicity: 2.09; 95% CI, 1.01-4.33; p = 0.047) and high social stressors (odds ratio of higher satisfaction among high stressed subgroup: 0.49; 95% CI, 0.24-0.99; p = 0.047) reported statistically significant lower satisfaction. Additional free-text responses were identified in 21% of respondents, with the majority of comments indicating wishes for improvements clustered around communication with the medical team or sleeping environment of families and patients.

conclusionsHigh capture rates of family satisfaction in the PICU can be obtained with a PICU-specific survey, limiting barriers to completion by including family preferences, and distributing in the PICU setting. Less than two-third of PICU families are highly satisfied; patients of Hispanic ethnicity and those with high social stressors predict low satisfaction, whereas illness severity, age, and PICU length of stay did not have statistical significance. Local improvement teams can use this approach to drive enhanced satisfaction.
