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: Depressive symptoms are prevalent among parents of children with cancer, significantly impacting their well-being. Problem-solving skills, strongly linked to depressive symptoms, offer a promising avenue for intervention. This study aimed to identify latent profiles of parental problem-solving skills and evaluate differences in depressive symptoms across these profiles. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 318 parents of children with cancer in mainland China. Self-reported data on demographics, problem-solving skills, and depressive symptoms were collected. Latent profile analysis was used to classify parental problem-solving skills into distinct profiles, and multiple logistic regression identified predictors of profile membership. Results: Three profiles of problem-solving skills were identified: (1) problem-oriented and constructive ( Conclusions: This study highlights the heterogeneity of problem-solving skills among parents of children with cancer and underscores the need for tailored interventions. Addressing specific characteristics of each profile can improve parental well-being and provide targeted support for this vulnerable population. Trial registration: ChiCTR2300071828.
