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

introductionCaregiver-child interaction is essential for maintaining adaptive oral medication-taking behavior in children. To evaluate interactive behavior between children and caregivers, the Interaction Rating Scale (IRS), an observation-based instrument for evaluating the quality of caregiver-child interaction, can be applied via observation of interactions. This study examined the applicability of the IRS in oral medication-taking situations.

methodsSixty-six caregiver-child dyads were evaluated using the IRS. The reliability of the measure was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency and intra-class coefficient (ICC) for inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability. The concurrent validity was evaluated using the Positive and Negative Parenting Scale and the Social Skills Scale for Preschool Children.

resultsThe IRS total, caregiver, and child scores showed high internal consistency (α = 0.86-0.92), test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.76-0.80) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.86-0.91). The IRS indices were partially associated with the Positive and Negative Parenting Scale and Social Skills Scale scores in the hypothesized directions. DISCUSSION: The results indicated the IRS is a reliable and validated instrument for measuring characteristics of caregiver-child interactions in medication-taking situations. Further studies may be helpful for validating the measure in wider patient groups and investigating the medication behavior of children.
