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

aimThis study aimed to clarify the relationship between the implementation of multi-professional collaboration to support "medical care in daily life" for technology-dependent children in community settings and their outcomes.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in 18 prefectures across Japan, involving 343 professionals, including consultation support specialists, visiting nurses, care workers, school nurses, and school nurse teachers. Fifty-five items related to the three elements of multi-professional collaboration-Gearing up individually, Working together, and Achieving results-were analyzed using factor analysis, one-way ANOVA, multiple regression analysis, and the Mann-Whitney U test with SPSS version 29. Ethical approval was obtained from the ethics committee.

resultsNine factors were identified: two related to prerequisites, four to collaborative practices, and three to outcomes. All factors demonstrated high internal consistency. Appropriate staffing of professionals, openness to new members, and the presence of a leader were significantly associated with all collaborative practices. Furthermore, communication through shared problem-solving and mutual respect for professional roles was associated with all activities. Collaboration centered on the needs of individuals and families showed the strongest association with positive outcomes.

conclusionThree essential elements for strengthening multi-professional collaboration were identified: (1) structured placement and flexible integration of professionals, (2) mutual trust and respect among professionals, and (3) sustained collaboration centered on the needs of individuals and families. These findings provide a practical framework for improving team-based care for technology-dependent children in community settings.
