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

Background: In paediatric palliative and bereavement care, providing comprehensive support that extends beyond medical treatment to address the emotional and psychosocial needs of children and their families is essential. Memory-making interventions play a critical role in capturing cherished moments and fostering emotional resilience. However, widespread consensus on the foundation and scope of memory-making interventions for children and young people remains sparse. This review aims to identify, appraise, and synthesise the evidence on memory-making interventions for children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their family members receiving palliative or bereavement care. Methods: This systematic review will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). A systematic search will be undertaken from January 1, 1985, to February 27, 2024, across the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus. Studies across diverse research designs that examine children (0-19 years) with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions undergoing memory-making interventions with psychosocial or other outcomes will be included. Screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal will be performed by two independent reviewers, with a third reviewer resolving discrepancies. Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for conducting mixed methods systematic reviews will be used to inform the data analysis and synthesis process. Conclusions: This review will provide critical insights into the existing evidence base on memory-making interventions in paediatric palliative and bereavement care, highlighting psychosocial and other impacts, implementation factors, and evidence quality. By identifying best practices and gaps in knowledge, this evidence review may inform future research and intervention design, or adaptation, and contribute to the enhancement of healthcare for children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families as well as families in bereavement. Registration: This review was registered in PROSPERO, the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42024521388; 18/03/2024).
