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

Chronic idiopathic constipation carries a significant burden on children and their families. Despite existing treatment guidelines, adherence and outcomes remain poor, with gaps in parental understanding contributing to these outcomes. This study aimed to develop a "curriculum of information needs" for parents of children with chronic constipation. This is a qualitative study which employed 15 semi-structured interviews with parents and health care professionals, in the United Kingdom. Thematic analysis of data produced 4 themes, with the primary study objective described in the first theme of a "curriculum of information needs." This curriculum encompasses key topics, such as; understanding constipation, behavioral strategies for management, and medication use, providing a framework to enhance parental knowledge and understanding of chronic constipation. Future efforts could integrate findings into designing accessible resources, including digital platforms and Artificial Intelligence-driven treatment tools, to improve adherence and outcomes.
