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
background/purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties and cultural adaptation of the Family-centered Care Questionnaire-Revised (FCCQ-R) for use by nurses in Saudi Arabia. The FCCQ-R assesses health care professionals' perceptions and practices of family-centered care (FCC), a model that emphasizes the active involvement of families in pediatric health care. Although family-centered care is widely used worldwide, its implementation varies in different cultural contexts, highlighting the need for a validated measurement tool tailored to non-Western healthcare settings.
methodA multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in three tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia. A pilot study (N = 30) was conducted to assess the reliability of the instrument, followed by the main study (N = 405) in which confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the factor structure of the scale. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.
resultsThe Arabic version of the FCCQ-R showed strong psychometric properties. The Cronbach's alpha for the FCC-Practice total scale was 0.97 (subscales: 0.68-0.90) and for the FCC-Perception scale was 0.98 (subscales: 0.78-0.93). The CFA supported the nine-factor model with goodness of fit indices: FCC perception (χ² = 2918.542, df = 909, CFI = 0.884, RMSEA = 0.074) and FCC practice (χ² = 2723.608, df = 909, CFI = 0.867, RMSEA = 0.070). These results confirm the validity and reliability of the Arabic FCCQ-R for assessing FCC perception and practice among nurses.
conclusionsThe Arabic version of the FCCQ-R is a valid and reliable tool for measuring FCC perceptions and practices in Saudi Arabian healthcare facilities. The results emphasize the importance of culturally adapted assessment tools to ensure accurate evaluation of FCC implementation. IMPACT: A validated Arabic FCCQ-R improves nursing research and practice by providing a standardized measure of FCC. This tool can guide the development of policies, training programs and quality improvement initiatives aimed at strengthening family involvement in pediatric care in Saudi Arabia and other Arabic-speaking countries. Further research is recommended to explore the applicability of the tool in other areas of the Middle East. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
