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
backgroundBeing admitted to a paediatric intensive care unit is a stressful situation for the minor and their family, causing emotional alterations that generate changes in psychological, physical and social aspects, as well as on how to take care of the minor.
aimThe objective of this study was to explore the coping strategies experienced by families who have a minor admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit.
methodsPhenomenological qualitative research study. A sample of 12 participants was obtained from families who had a prolonged admission to the paediatric intensive care unit of a minimum duration of 3 months and who were not in an end-of-life situation. The data analysis was carried out by deepening the study theme during the data collection of the three group interviews conducted. ETHICS STATEMENT: This study is part of a predoctoral research project approved by the Ethics Committee of the Vall d'Hebrón University Hospital in Barcelona (approval code: PRAMI-273/2015).
resultsTwo main categories were identified that emerged from the families' perceptions related admission of their minors to the paediatric intensive care unit and their subsequent adaptation to the new situation: (1) Family self-perception: the families' own perceptions of different feelings and emotions experienced during admission and their interpretations are collected. (2) Role of the caregiver: understood as the families' perceptions of the capacity and willingness to face the new situation in the child's health-disease process; and 10 subcategories: training, comfort, confidence, fear, anxiety, impotence, loneliness, will, adaptability and reference family group.
conclusionsThe findings show the need to carry out an integrative approach to families which coexist in a paediatric intensive care unit; through the training of these families to be able to cope with health changes.
