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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesChildren with chronic diseases and their families face significant challenges to their quality of life compared to the rest of the population, and the COVID-19 pandemic has been a greater challenge for them. Our research aimed to identify key factors affecting their quality of life.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in the Department of Pediatrics of the "Grigore Alexandrescu" Emergency Children's Hospital in Bucharest on a group of 47 pediatric patients aged 9 years or older, diagnosed with chronic liver, gastrointestinal, and pancreatic diseases.

resultsChildren reported that their quality of life was not significantly affected by the pandemic due to the inability to see their family members and friends (89.36%), online education (67.5%), and social distancing (50%). Results showed that parents' perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative correlation with their quality of life (r = -0.35,

conclusionsEven if the medical issue of the COVID-19 pandemic was not a concern for either children or their parents, many families were anxious about the perceived lack of dependability of the medical system. Addressability was delayed in many cases because of this, and regular medical care is essential for patients with chronic diseases.
