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
Children continue to be poorly prepared and informed about clinical procedures, despite increased evidence of the worth of preparation and the availability of information resources. This study used a concurrent mixed-methods approach to explore the information accessed by children and their parents before attending hospital for a procedure. Information was collected separately from 40 children (aged between 8 and 12 years) and their parents using a paper booklet to examine self-reported perceived procedural knowledge and information-seeking behaviours. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that many children (70%,
