Care needs of children with chronic illnesses from the perspectives of children, parents, and nurses: a Q methodology approach.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundUnderstanding the care needs of children diagnosed with chronic diseases and their parents is essential for quality nursing care.
aimThis study aimed to determine the priorities of the needs of the children diagnosed with chronic diseases, their parents, and the nurses caring for them.
methodsThis exploratory study was conducted in the Gazi University. Data were collected using the Q methodology approach. 41 people (18 children, 18 parents, and 5 nurses) participated in this study. The study involved 23 cards sorted separately by children (n = 18), their parents (n = 18), and nurses (n = 5). The cards were ranked from (+ 3) to (-3) from "most important" to "least important." The factor array of each statement, Z score value, distinguished reports (p < .05, p < .01).
resultsQ factor analysis revealed four factors for children, five for parents, and two for nurses. The essential needs for children are that the nurse should "Be smiling and approachable" and "Provide information about the illness." Similarly, the necessary need for parents is that nurses "Provide information about the illness".
conclusionIt is essential to know the care needs of children and parents to provide good quality care. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
