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

purposeTo investigate the differences of parental acceptance of advanced behaviour management techniques (BMT) in different cultural backgrounds (Germany vs. Jordan).

methodsA convenience sample of 100 parents each of paediatric patients at the University of Greifswald/Germany and Jordan University/Jordan completed a questionnaire to rate their acceptance of four advanced BMT (passive restraint, active restraint, nitrous oxide sedation, and general anaesthesia) using a five-point Likert scale.

resultsIn both groups, nitrous oxide sedation was the most accepted advanced BMT (mean 3.78 ± 1.34/3.22 ± 1.50, respectively). The least acceptable technique in Germany was passive restraint (2.05 ± 1.18) and in Jordan general anaesthesia (2.11 ± 1.30). The parents in Germany are significantly more accepting of nitrous oxide sedation than are parents in Jordan (p = 0.010), while parents in Jordan are more willing to accept passive restraint (p = 0.001). The acceptance of all advanced BMT increased significantly in both groups when the treatment was urgent.

conclusionsParental cultural background and the urgency of the treatment affect the acceptance of different BMT. Moreover, the parental attitude to the pharmacological technique has changed, as nitrous oxide sedation generally appears to be the most preferred advanced technique in both groups.
