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

backgroundImmigrant families in Brazil face challenges such as socio-economic vulnerability, and limited access to essential services like health and education. These stressors may compromise the capacity of families to provide adequate nurturing care for their young children.

methodsThis study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design to address how the experience of parenting and accessing support among immigrant and refugee caregivers of young children explains their parenting related practices and perceived parenting stress. The study objectives were to (1) describe parental beliefs, care practices and stressors among caregivers of young children living in a migratory context; (2) explore how the environment and social context influence parents' nurturing care for young children; and (3) examine how parents, nurses and educators promote young children's development in a migratory context.

resultsSeventy caregivers participated in the quantitative study, and a subset of 21 caregivers along with 12 nurses and 13 teachers took part in the qualitative study. Quantitative findings revealed that caregivers were not engaging in stimulating activities with their children and perceived their parenting demands to exceed their ability to provide care. These findings were elucidated by the qualitative data, which found that the challenges of migration contributed to parental stress and negative caregiving practices, reduced caregiver-child interaction and was perceived to impact children's health and development.

conclusionsUnderstanding these factors may inform interventions to mitigate challenges and offer adequate support for children to thrive in a migratory context.
