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
Objectives: To describe and compare caregiver perceptions of their emergency department (ED) experiences with and without child life specialist (CLS) involvement in their child's overall care. Study design: A descriptive cross-sectional survey of caregivers of children aged 0-17 years at a tertiary care pediatric ED was completed from March to August 2021. Survey themes included perceived experience and satisfaction and the impact of child life specialists. Results: A total of 179 caregivers completed the survey; mean age was 38.9 years (SD 8.4), and 68.1% (122/179) were mothers. Caregivers of children with CLS involvement (CLS+) ranked their overall experience ( Conclusions: CLS involvement in children's ED care is associated with greater caregiver satisfaction and experience beyond previously reported procedural distress management. Efforts to increase availability of CLSs should be made to better family experiences in the ED.
