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

aimTo explore parents' experiences of family-centered care (FCC) in a pediatric neurology clinic.

methodIn this explanatory sequential mixed-methods study, parents of children with neurological conditions completed the Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC-20) and the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) surveys. Linear regression analysis was used to explore associations between MPOC, PedsQL scores, and demographic variables. Through an interpretive description framework, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a subset of parents to develop a deeper understanding of parental experiences and were analyzed using a phronetic iterative approach.

resultsParents rated the MPOC-20 domains 'respectful and supportive care' the highest and 'providing general information' the lowest (n = 69). Child's age and parents' marital status were predictive of lower 'providing general information' and 'specific information' scores; and child's age, area of residence, and the number of additional services were predictive of lower total, emotional, and social PedsQL scores. A conceptual framework highlighting the parents' role in their child's healthcare experiences was developed on the basis of interview findings.

interpretationThis study demonstrates the need to improve FCC (providing general and specific information about the child's condition) and to encourage partnerships between parents and healthcare providers. Involving genetic counsellors in care teams facilitates information sharing, shared decision-making, communication, and the provision of support resources.
