Low Parental Participation in a Randomised Clinical Trial of Video Tutorials: A Qualitative Study.
Trial report in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimParents calling a Danish out-of-hours nonurgent medical helpline were invited to a trial comparing video tutorials on managing children's acute illnesses with telephone triage by health professionals. Participants allocated to videos were disconnected from the helpline. Facing only 6% participation, this study explored barriers to engagement and the participants' experiences.
methodsWe conducted 39 semistructured interviews (25 nonparticipants, 14 participants who watched videos) and applied Clarke and Braun's thematic analysis.
resultsWe identified five themes: (1) initial response: annoyance and anger; (2) participation barriers: urgency and ambiguity; (3) participation facilitators: efficiency and resources; (4) video tutorials: confidence and reassurance; and (5) accessing video: timing of information. Parents who declined found their child's condition too urgent for a video-based intervention, doubted the videos' relevance to their situation, preferred individualised care and opposed the automatic call disconnection since the callback option would delay telephone triage. In contrast, participants found the videos time-efficient, calming and empowering.
conclusionThe study design hindered participation. Future studies should address relevance and benefits, such as time efficiency, to improve parental engagement. Longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the long-term impact of the videos on parental healthcare-seeking behaviour and explore global potential.
