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

objectiveTo interpret the cultural modulation of family care for technology-dependent children in different contexts.

methodEthnographic study with technology-dependent children, their families and people they live with, totaling 15 informants. Data collection took place from June/2019 to June/2020 in a municipality in southern Brazil, through participant observation, ethnographic interview, field diary, genogram, and ecomap. For the interpretation, the phases proposed by ethno-nursing were followed.

resultsFamilies adapt and restructure based on their children's needs. They use strategies that include adjustments to the physical environment, changes of residence, and constant efforts to ensure continuity of treatment. They depend on support from people outside the family nucleus, including schools and health services, to ensure care. Mothers are the primary caregivers while fathers act as providers. The school inclusion of children and the lack of listening were also highlighted as challenges.

conclusionFamilies need to make cultural adjustments to overcome the challenges of care and improve the quality of life of technology-dependent children.
