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

introductionChildren with moderate to severe acquired brain injury frequently require a period of demanding medical and rehabilitative care to optimise their long-term capabilities and quality of life. Usually, the initial acute care is provided in tertiary centres and can last up to 12 months following the original injury. Parents of children with acquired brain injury share that experience with their child and face many different challenges encountered as their child's long-term needs become apparent. Parents are essential partners in care, hence there is a need to better understand their experiences to support them as they face those challenges and adapt to the needs of their child. We aim to synthesise the qualitative evidence exploring parents' experiences of children undergoing neuro-rehabilitative care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research guideline was used in the design of this protocol. The Population, Exposure and Outcome model was used to define inclusion and exclusion criteria and refine search terms. The databases Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and PsychINFO will be searched from 2009 to 2022. Two independent reviewers will review studies, assess quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme and scrutinise and extract the data. Disagreements will be resolved after discussion with the third reviewer. Thematic synthesis using Thomas and Harden's approach will be undertaken to provide the evidence to develop a model for parental support during the first year of their child's neuro-rehabilitation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical committee approval will not be required as no new data will be collected. The findings will be disseminated through presentations at professional conferences, publications in peer-reviewed journals and shared with the public through relevant charities and local family support groups and networks. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022333182.
