The effect of parental involvement intervention on quality of life and health outcomes among children and adolescents with chronic illness: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of this study is to synthesize evidence from randomized controlled (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies evaluating the effects of parental involvement interventions on quality of life and health outcomes among children and adolescents with chronic illness. Two independent reviewers screened studies according to predefined inclusion criteria across six databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Embase). Discrepancies were resolved through discussion and consensus. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models with mean differences (MDs) for continuous outcomes on the same scale and standardized mean differences (SMDs) for outcomes using different measurement tools. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I
conclusionThis study provides comprehensive evidence that parental involvement interventions significantly improve quality of life and health-related outcomes among children and adolescents with chronic illnesses, particularly when they are shorter in duration and nurse-led. WHAT IS KNOWN: •Parental involvement is essential in managing chronic illnesses in children and adolescents. •Family-centered interventions can improve adherence, psychological well-being, and coping skills. WHAT IS NEW: •This review and meta-analysis show that structured parental involvement interventions significantly improve quality of life, especially when short-term and nurse-led. •Findings highlight the stronger impact in lower-middle-income countries, emphasizing equity in pediatric chronic care.
