Illness conversations: Self-disclosure among children and youth with chronic illnesses.
Review in Chronic illness, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveIllness disclosure refers to when individuals with chronic illnesses make decisions to tell others about their disease. There is a lack of research on the complexity of disclosure among children and youth with chronic illnesses. We conducted a review of the literature to understand the process of disclosure among children and youth with chronic illnesses in the context of peer-based relationships.
methodsA narrative review was completed using three databases. The search yielded 11 articles that utilized various research designs.
resultsMost of the literature was qualitative in nature. Most children and youth engaged in non-disclosure and concealment which is born out of fears of discrimination. Fewer children and youth engaged in unplanned disclosure, passive disclosure, partial disclosure, and open disclosure. Children and youth carefully consider who they are disclosing to and perceptions about other peoples' responses strongly impact disclosure. Children and youth disclose verbally, behaviorally, and in written form. Disclosure is associated with both positive and negative effects, such as confidence, self-advocacy, and distress. DISCUSSION: Health providers and researchers should critically support disclosure and empower children and youth with the resources they need to be agents in their own disclosure decisions.
