What Outcomes Matter Most to Paediatric Burn Patients and Their Caregivers: A Comparison of Short-Term and Long-Term Priorities.
Article in European burn journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Identifying outcomes that matter most is key in driving specialized paediatric burn care. The aim of this study was to discover the most important outcomes for paediatric burns. Parents of children (0-3 year and 4-11 years old) and adolescents (12-17 yearss old) completed surveys to identify outcomes that matter most in the short-term (<6 months postburn) and long-term (6-24 months postburn). The percentage of patients scoring an outcome as 'very important' was used to rank the outcomes. Fifty-four parents/adolescents participated (response rate: 27%). Children had a median TBSA burned of 5.0% (IQR: 2.0-7.0%). In the short-term, 'good wound healing' and 'no wound infection' (both at 71.4-100%) were very important for all children. 'Not having pain' (90.3-93.8%) was ranked highest for children ≤11 years old, whereas 'walking or moving around' (85.7%) was most important for older children. In the long-term, more variation was seen in outcome priorities; however, both 'not having pain' (53.6-85.7%) and 'flexibility of scar(s)' (60.7-71.4%) were considered very important by all three groups. Patient- and parent-derived priorities are important for developing consumer-centric, highest-value care pathways. The priority of the outcomes identified is a starting point to discuss treatment options and recovery priorities in a family-centric approach to guide high-value, individualized care.
