Parents' experiences of having a child who had a stroke: A systematic review and meta-ethnography.

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
aimTo explore and synthesize interview-based, qualitative research of parents' experiences of having a child who had a paediatric stroke.
methodA systematic search of literature identified seven studies that used qualitative, interview-based methods to investigate parents' experiences of having a child (younger than 25 years) who had a paediatric stroke. Data were extracted and appraised for quality. All seven studies were included in a meta-ethnography. An advisory group of two parents contributed to the analysis through two consultation meetings.
resultsA conceptual model of parents' experiences was developed, highlighting the lack of childhood stroke awareness, insufficient support from healthcare professionals, and the role of societal norms. These factors significantly shaped both the emotional impact on parents and the trajectory of their experiences, from emergency response to adjustment.
interpretationGreater awareness of childhood stroke, alongside sustained professional support for families, may substantially improve outcomes for parents and their children.
