Parental factors affecting their participation in decision-making for neonates with life-threatening conditions: A qualitative study Parents' participation in decision-making.

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
backgroundParents and healthcare professionals make decisions for neonates with life-threatening conditions (LTCs). Parents may be inadequately included. Limited studies have evaluated influential factors. We aimed to explore parental factors affecting parents' participation in decision-making (DM) for neonates with LTCs. MATERIALS AND
methodsA qualitative study was conducted in four level III neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Tehran, and twenty-two in-depth, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted in 2019. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a conventional content analysis approach. During the coding process, participants' words were condensed into meaning units, and 297 open-coded were extracted and then grouped into thirteen subcategories based on similarities and differences. This process was repeated until four main categories were identified.
resultsMain categories and subcategories include "
conclusionAlthough factors were parental, professionals who care for neonates with LTCs should be trained in family-centered care (FCC) principles to involve parents in DM. Nurses should be aware of parents' abilities and inform them of their rights. Parents' presentation at the bedside prevents their marginalization, reduces feelings of guilt, and helps them understand their baby's behavior and surrounding reality. A formal neonatal palliative care (NPC) program can encourage open communication between professionals and parents. A multidisciplinary team should consider parents' needs and values.
