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

Parents of children with cancer often face complex decisions about clinical trial participation and treatment options. This cross-sectional survey of 100 parents of pediatric oncology patients explored their perspectives on accessing clinical trials, focusing on influencing factors and perceived barriers. While most parents expressed interest in clinical trial participation, common obstacles included inadequate information, geographic constraints and financial challenges. Many parents emphasized the need for improved communication with healthcare providers to better understand trial risks and benefits. These findings suggest that addressing informational and logistical barriers can enhance access to clinical trials and support informed decision-making among parents of pediatric oncology patients.
