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

objectivesUnderstanding maternal perceptions of the quality and safety of care serves as a crucial management tool for the planning and enhancement of health interventions. In Iran, where cultural norms emphasise mothers' central role in caregiving and healthcare resources are often limited, incorporating their perspectives into nursing care strategies is essential. This study aimed to assess the perception of key nursing safety practices among Iranian mothers of children with leukaemia undergoing their first chemotherapy course.

settingOncology wards of hospitals affiliated with Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

participantsMothers of children with leukaemia.

resultsThe mean perception score increased from 2.75 (out of 4) at baseline to 2.99 by week 4. The largest increases in perception were observed in patient identification and hand hygiene, with mean differences of 0.41 and 0.38, respectively. A significant increase in overall perception and subscales was observed (p<0.001). Mothers' education level, economic status, child's age, family size and the child's leukaemia type (acute lymphocytic leukaemia vs acute myeloid leukaemia) were significantly associated with their perceptions.

conclusionsActively involving mothers in the care process enhances their perceptions of safety and quality during hospitalisation. Supportive and educational interventions are needed to further improve the safety and quality of nursing care.
