Voices of Children with Cancer and Their Siblings in the Family Talk Intervention.

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
backgroundChildren in pediatric oncology report unmet needs related to communication and information about the illness, care involvement, and psychosocial support. Supporting the whole family involves challenges, with a risk that children's voices are not heard above those of the adults. Article 12 of the UNCRC has been a catalyst in supporting children's voices and their right to participate in processes that affect them. The aim of this study was to explore how children with cancer and their siblings experienced participation in a family-centered psychosocial support intervention, the Family Talk Intervention (FTI).
methodsInterviews were held with 35 children (ill and siblings) from 26 families in pediatric oncology after having completed the FTI. A combined deductive and inductive qualitative content analysis was undertaken, guided by the Lundy model of child participation.
resultsChildren's experiences of being able to express their views, being listened to, and being involved during FTI were mainly positive. This was related to their participation in individual meetings where they could raise their concerns and views, undertake small activities while talking, and have their voices and needs mediated to relevant adults, such as parents and professionals.
conclusionsThe findings of this study showed that the FTI for families in pediatric oncology created opportunities to promote child participation. These findings indicate that, by offering children an individual space where they can express themselves freely and supporting them in various ways to do so, the children's voices and involvement are strengthened.
