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

Previous research shows that children and young people with neurodevelopmental conditions experience greater challenges accessing care in hospitals and having their health needs met.

aimTo elicit experiences of parents of children with neurodevelopmental conditions using a new perioperative pathway.

methodParents of children accessing an adapted perioperative clinical pathway in a tertiary children's hospital between July 2019 and December 2020 were invited to participate. A mixed method study was conducted comprising a short survey questionnaire followed by telephonic interviews.

resultsFrom 67 postal surveys sent out, 20 were completed. Six out of 20 parents participated in phone interviews and one parent submitted written prose. Parents were positive about their experiences. Six themes emerged:

conclusionParents of children with neurodevelopmental conditions report great satisfaction and relief from their experiences of a more efficient, streamlined and stress-free way for their child to have tests or procedures done. Parents report improved communication, convenience and collaboration with staff resulted in timely, safe and high-quality care.
