The factors associated with paediatric medical post-traumatic stress: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of health psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
We examined and synthesised existing literature on factors associated with paediatric medical-related posttraumatic stress among children and their parents. Children experiencing a broad spectrum of medical conditions, diseases and injuries were of interest. A search of relevant literature concerning PMTS in children and their parents, as well as factors associated with PMTS, was conducted using Medline, PubMed and Scopus. Only studies published in English between January 2018 and November 2023 were included. Twelve articles met inclusion criteria. A broad range of correlates of PMTS were identified for children and parents, which were thematically organised into six key areas: hospital practices and environments; the parent-child relationship; parental mental wellbeing; psychological factors; sociodemographic factors; and the physical consequences of the condition. Bearing in mind constraints on causal inference due to the design of the included studies, knowledge of the factors associated with PMTS may enable clinicians to identify at-risk children and parents, with a view to intervention.
