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

introductionDespite a growing multidisciplinary interest in the Child and Family Centred Care approach, its meaning remains unclear in extant literature. It is, therefore, crucial to explore, analyse, describe, and clarify the concept of the Child and Family Centred Care approach and its associated terms.

methodA three-phased principle-based concept analysis approach was used to analyse the concept of Child and Family Centred Care. A systematic search of literature was completed using the CINAHL, PsycINFO, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Peer-reviewed articles on Child and Family Centred Care, published from inception to 2023 were included if they were available in English and discussed children aged zero to 17 years, healthcare providers, and/or caregivers. A systematic screening of articles was undertaken to remove duplicates and articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria. A concept quality criteria assessment was performed independently based on a recommended appraisal tool.

resultsFull texts of the retained 23 titles were included in the deductive thematic analysis. Guided by the three-phased principle-based concept analysis approach, data were grouped into epistemological, pragmatic, linguistic, and logical principles. The study revealed various characteristics of the concept of interest to highlight the common terms associated with the concept, primarily being collaboration, participation, communication, and respect/dignity. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This concept analysis provides a theoretical definition of the Child and Family Centred Care approach. The definition emphasises the child as an individual and an active collaborator with healthcare providers and their family. Standardised language improving health outcomes, patient satisfaction, and healthcare systems. No Patient or Public Contribution.
