What Does Family-Centered Care Mean to You? A Qualitative Study Examining Perceptions of Mothers of Children With Medical Complexity.
Article in Journal of family nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although family-centered care (FCC) has been widely studied in pediatric settings, research focusing on families of children with medical complexity is limited, especially regarding parental perspectives in the Canadian context. This study explored how mothers of children with medical complexity conceptualize FCC. A qualitative approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews for data collection. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 19 mothers of children with medical complexity (aged 0-18 years) residing in British Columbia, Canada. Five key themes emerged: (a) Meeting families where they are; (b) Understanding family roles, responsibilities, and preferences; (c) Recognizing that family needs are dynamic and require ongoing reassessment; (d) Encouraging open communication and feedback; and (e) Acknowledging that the health of the child and parents is inextricably linked. Findings provide insights to guide policy and best practices for this population, who represent some of the highest users of pediatric health care services in Canada.
