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

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, life-threatening disease, similar to other chronic life-disrupting pediatric conditions, and this creates physical and psychosocial problems for parents and the healthy sibling/s of the sick child, who often become sibling carers. It is feared that, despite good intentions, professionals fail to hear the authentic voice of those intimately involved, especially these sibling carers, who can feel they became a "shadow child." This study is a partnership between an academic and a former CF sibling carer, who wrote a "fairy story" for his children about the Uncle they never knew. It is an effort to hear the "voice of shadow children" who can feel left behind and unseen as families and professionals focus upon their ill sibling.
