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

objectiveTo map and describe existing studies in the literature on fathers participation in caring for critically ill children.

methodScoping review according to the JBI methodology. The search took place in October 2023, with studies published in full in Portuguese, English or Spanish, without time limits and indexed in databases and portals of theses and dissertations. Two reviewers read the title and abstract of the studies and exported the data to a Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet for grouping and removing duplicates. Data synthesis was done in written and visual form, using diagrams.

resultsThe search resulted in 961 studies, with 38 being eligible to compose the sample. The studies analysis allowed us to find that paternal participation in the care of a critically ill child involved benefits for the child, the mother, and the family; the forms of paternal care; the father's social role; the psycho-emotional, socioeconomic, and family impacts; and gender and sociocultural barriers regarding the paternal figure.

conclusionPaternal participation in caring for a critically ill child has proven to be a complex phenomenon that requires the deconstruction of historical, sociocultural, and gender stigmas related to parental roles.
