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

objectivesFor pediatric cancer survivors in the post-treatment, school-reintegration period, integrating multi-informant reports and promoting a mutual clinician-family-school understanding of the child's needs are critical for comprehensive care. This study evaluated patterns of agreement between child, parent, and teacher reports of psychosocial functioning in pediatric brain tumor survivors (PBTS) and non-CNS solid tumor survivors (PSTS). PARTICIPANTS AND

methodsPBTS (n = 51) and PSTS (n = 34) age 7-14 who received tumor-directed therapy completed the study. Parents and teachers completed the CBCL/TRF and SSIS, and parents and children completed the PedsQL and PROMIS peer relationships. Intra-class correlation coefficients, % disagreements, t-tests, and correlations quantified inter-rater agreement.

resultsAnalysis yielded poor-to-moderate ICC levels across measures. Parent-teacher agreement was higher for reports of externalizing symptoms. Parents had higher ratings of child-internalizing problems, but lower ratings of overall social skills than teacher ratings. Parents had higher ratings of child emotional functioning and social skills compared to self-reports.

conclusionsFindings underscore the necessity for integrating multi-informant reports of psychosocial functioning in assessment for pediatric cancer survivors. Findings also highlight critical gaps in mutual parent-teacher-child understanding, indicating the need for increased collaboration in the post-treatment period.
