The Effect of Family Empowerment Model on Quality of Life in Children with Epilepsy in South of Iran, 2018: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
Article in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesEpilepsy is a chronic disease of the nervous system, which remarkably affects children's performance and behaviors. Epileptic children are at greater risk of cognitive and behavioral disorders compared to healthy children. In this regard, a variety of factors associated with this disease may affect the patients' families. MATERIALS &
methodsThe present study was a randomized controlled clinical trial, which aimed to evaluate the effect of family empowerment on the quality of life in epileptic children referred to the concerned centers (the Bessat Clinic affiliated to the Kerman University of Medical Sciences and Shiraz's Imam Reza Clinic). The participants, who were 80 parents with epileptic children meeting the inclusion criteria, were assigned into two experimental and control groups. In this study, the Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy Questionnaire (QOLCE) was used to collect the required data from the parents.
resultsThe studied children's age ranged from 4-8 years. These results revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the level of changes in all dimensions, indicating that the experimental group's mean score of quality of life in different dimensions increased (
conclusionThe implementation of the family-centered care plan by care providers, based on patient-family support relationships, the detection of their strengths and weaknesses, prioritization of the provided services, and effective interaction with the health team would increase the family and staff's satisfaction, reduce the costs, and improve the outcome of the disease.
