Exploring the transition: a qualitative feasibility study on caregiver needs for children discharged from hospital to home.

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 transition from hospital to home for children and their caregivers has been understudied, particularly in the context of children with complex illnesses. This pilot study aimed to explore caregivers' and nurses' perceptions of unmet needs during this transition and to make recommendations for future research. In this qualitative study, data were collected through separately conducted focused group discussions with caregivers (n = 6) and nurses (n = 6). The discussions were facilitated by an experienced qualitative researcher, ensuring an unbiased approach. Emergent themes were categorized into four areas: (1) Insufficient Caregiver Involvement in Child Care (2) Knowledge Gaps Hindering Effective Post-Transition Care (3) Barriers to Accessing Community Health Resources, and (4) Evolving Perspectives on Transition Care. Findings suggest significant opportunities to enhance paediatric transition care practices and better prepare caregivers to shift from hospital to home. Thematic analysis, following Braun and Clarke's (2006) framework, was used to analyze the data.
