Predictors of Post-traumatic stress symptomology in parents of infants with Congenital Heart Disease post-surgery and after four months.
Article in Journal of pediatric nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01941667 (Transitional Telehealth Home Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.

Abstract
purposeTo identify predictors of post-traumatic stress symptomology among parents of infants with complex congenital heart defects at hospital discharge and after 4 months. DESIGN &
methodsA secondary analysis utilizing data from a larger RCT performed in three pediatric cardiac centers in North America. Analysis included 158 parent-infant dyads. Generalized Linear Modeling was used to identify predictors of parental post-traumatic symptomology at hospital discharge, and after 4 months. Considered predictors included demographics/SES, illness, and psychosocial parameters.
resultsAt discharge, parenting stress, education, and infant's medication number were linked to post-traumatic stress symptomology severity; Parenting stress, education, insurance type, and medications number predicted number of symptoms; Tube-assisted feeding predicted PTSD. At 4 months, parenting stress, ethnicity, and number of ED visits predicted PTSS severity; Parenting stress, ethnicity, and cardiologist visits predicted number of symptoms; Parenting stress, single ventricle physiology, and number of children predicted PTSD. CONCLUSIONS & PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Parental psychosocial factors, additionally to illness and sociodemographic indicators, can potentially risk parents to experience PTSS/PTSD. Nursing and other healthcare professionals can participate in early screening of such factors to determine familial risk.
