Evaluation of Primary Caregiver Parents' Quality of Life in Pediatric Palliative Care with the WHOQOL-Bref (TR).
Article in Turkish archives of pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivePediatric palliative care is a top-level care system that focuses on improving the quality of life of the child and family. Quality of life is an expression of individual well-being based on an individual's assessment of their own life. It includes satisfaction in all areas of life, including physical and mental health, environment, and social areas.
methodsThe study was conducted with the primary caregiver parents of children admitted to the pediatric palliative care service of the Health Science University İzmir Dr. Behçet Uz Child Disease and Surgery Training and Research Hospital. The Turkish version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life WHOQOL-Bref (TR) questionnaire was applied with a personal information form containing demographic data.
resultsEighty-four patients were hospitalized in the specified period, and 67 primary caregiver parents agreed to participate in the study. Total scores evaluated by WHOQOL-Bref (TR); the physical domain was 19.95 ± 3.30, the mental domain was 19.95 ± 3.18, the social domain was 10.11 ± 2.40, and surrounding area was 16.38 ± 2.82. The physical and psychological subgroups' scores were statistically significantly higher in primary caregiver parents with good social support (P < .005).
conclusionIt has been determined that in order to increase the quality of life and care of children with life-limiting and/or threatening diseases, the quality of life of primary caregiver parents should be increased, and "social support" procurement, which has the most important effect on the quality of life, is an important need.
