Parents' Distress and Demands for Children With Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment in Western China: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroudCancer-related cognitive impairment is one of the common complications in children with cancer, but our understanding of their experience with cognitive deficits remains limited. From the perspective of parents, this study aimed to explore the distress and demands faced by children with cancer-related cognitive impairment, to provide references for developing targeted intervention strategies for cancer children.
methodsWe used a purposeful sampling method to conduct semi-structured interviews with the parents of 18 children with cancer-related cognitive impairment. The transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi's method.
resultsThree categories and 11 subcategories were obtained from the data analysis, including diverse levels of cognitive impairment in children (speech communication difficulties, impaired executive function, attention deficit, and intellectual disability), persistent negative emotions (anxiety and worry, complaints and resentment, negative avoidance and positive experiences after psychological adjustment), multiple needs (need for disease information, need for professional management, and an urgent need for more external support).
conclusionParents of children with cancer-related cognitive impairment face a significant psychological burden, coupled with confusion and numerous inquiries regarding the symptoms and management of their children's cognitive impairment. It is imperative for medical professionals to strengthen the dissemination of information related to cancer-associated cognitive impairments, while promptly recognizing and intervening in related symptoms. Rational allocation of resources, establishment of targeted support systems, and enhancement of social acceptance may be the key points that policymakers could consider. These efforts hold immense significance, as they play a pivotal role in elevating cognitive capabilities and enhancing the overall quality of life for children with cancer.
