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

backgroundParents of children with complex medical needs describe an internal, personal definition of "trying to be a good parent" for their loved child. Gaps exist in the current "good parent concept" literature: (1) When the idea of "trying to be a good parent" comes into existence for parents, (2) How parents' definition of "being a good parent" may change over time and may influence interactions with the child, and (3) Whether parents perceive attainment of their personal definition.

aimThe purpose of this study was to explore these current gaps in the "good parent concept" knowledge base from the perspective of parents of children with chronic or complex illness. MATERIALS AND

methodsThese themes were explored through a 63-item, mixed-method web-based survey distributed by the Courageous Parents Network (CPN), an organization and online platform that orients, educates, and empowers families and providers caring for seriously ill children.

resultsThe term "trying to be a good parent" resonated with 85% of the 67 responding parents. For the majority of parents, the concept of "being a good parent" started to exist in parental awareness before the child's birth (70.2%) and evolved over time (67.5%) to include less judgment and more self-compassion. Parents identified their awareness of their child's prognosis and changing health as influential on their "trying to be a good parent" concept. Parental advocacy, child's age, and duration of illness were reported as influencing parental perceptions of having achieved their definition of "being a good parent".

conclusionsFamiliarity with parental perspectives on their parenting goodness and goals is a necessary core of family-centric health care.
