Children With Severe Neurologic Impairment and Their Families in the PICU: A Secondary Qualitative Analysis to Assess Clinician-Family Collaboration and Mutuality.

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
objectivesIn children with severe neurologic impairment (SNI) admitted to the PICU, a trauma-informed approach to care may mitigate the effect of traumatic events on both parents and the child. We aimed to characterize the themes that impacted the trauma-informed care principle of collaboration and mutuality in the PICU.
designThis study is a post hoc secondary analysis of transcripts of interviews conducted for a prospective mixed methods cohort study examining the experiences of parents of children with SNI in the PICU and their clinicians in 2021-2023. Parents and clinicians had completed the semi-structured interviews peri-PICU discharge. Data were analyzed using a conventional content analysis approach. Two analysts coded all data independently, with differences resolved by consensus. Dedoose qualitative software was used to facilitate analysis, which followed Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines.
settingQuaternary academic center children's hospital. PATIENTS: The original study (2021-2023) recruited parents of children and young people (3 mo to 25 yr old) with SNI who were admitted to the PICU and their PICU clinicians.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsThere were 34 transcribed interviews: 15 from parents and 19 from PICU clinicians of multiple disciplines. We identified facilitators of and barriers to collaboration and mutuality. Facilitators included: 1) knowing a patient beyond the medical chart; 2) understanding values; and 3) clinician(s)-family collaboration. Barriers included: 1) constraints of the PICU environment; 2) challenges when engaging fully with patients with SNI; 3) intrinsic variability among clinicians and parents; 4) families being overwhelmed amid critical illness; and 5) emotional toll on clinicians.
conclusionsParticipants described the importance of and barriers to collaboration and mutuality in the PICU, which underscores the impact of valuing partnerships between clinicians and families.
