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

The COVID-19 pandemic caused shifts in the educational landscape and revealed gaps in educational processes, including the practices of education professionals. The present study used a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach to explore the experiences of ten early childhood special education professionals who supported racially and ethnically diverse families of preschoolers with disabilities to gain insight into family-school relationship dynamics during COVID-19. Through interviews, education professionals shared their firsthand experiences in relation to navigating home-school relationships during the pandemic. Education professionals described shifts in their relationships with families, as well as their observations of family factors such as hardships and engagement. They also discussed strategies they used to support families during the pandemic. Later reflections from professionals in the study's CBPR advisory board revealed lessons learned from the pandemic. Findings highlight the voices of early school professionals during COVID-19 and offer insights into how these experiences informed their adjustment and practice in modern day. Results reveal how early childhood special education professionals and families can be better supported by the education system moving forward, as well as suggestions for fostering home-school relationships throughout the early childhood years.
