Access to appropriate interpretation is essential for the health of children.
Review in Paediatrics & child health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
With 20% of Canadians reporting a mother tongue other than English or French, it is not uncommon for health professionals and patients to be proficient in different languages. When a physician and patient cannot properly communicate, there is potential for misunderstanding, which can lead to poor clinical outcomes and hospital readmission. Professional interpretation services are associated with improved communication, health care use, clinical outcomes, and satisfaction with care. Using untrained or ad hoc interpreters-including family members-has been shown to increase errors of omission, substitution, editorialization, and addition. Children and youth are not sufficiently developmentally mature to act as interpreters in health care. Using children and youth as interpreters in health care settings places them in an inappropriate and potentially difficult situation that may have lasting negative effects on both their own mental health and their relationships with other family members.
