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

Objective: This study aimed to examine the prevalence and risk factors of Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) in hospitalised children with cancer and their parents and explore the PTSS correlation between parents and children. Methods: Data were collected using the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Posttraumatic Stress Disorder-Reaction Index for DSM-IV and the Chinese version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised Questionnaire. Results: Out of 203 families with hospitalised children with cancer, 77.3% of parents and 7.9% of children experienced PTSS. Time since diagnosis of less than 3 months ( Conclusions: The hospitalised children with cancer had a low prevalence of PTSS, but their parents' PTSS prevalence was high. No significant correlation was observed between parental and children's PTSS. Attention should be given to the mental health of families with hospitalised children with cancer. Early psychosocial support should be provided, especially to families with poor economic situations and a newly diagnosed or relapsed child.
