Discharge readiness among parents of children in the pediatric intensive care unit: implication for nursing strategies.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. 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
backgroundEnhancing parental discharge readiness is crucial for optimizing the prognosis of pediatric patients. This study aimed to evaluate the discharge readiness of parents with children in the pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU), thereby providing evidence-based insights to improve nursing care practices.
methodsParents of pediatric patients admitted to the pediatric ICU of our hospital between December 2024 and May 2025 were enrolled. Their personal characteristics and discharge readiness were assessed, and correlation analysis along with multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify potential influencing factors.
resultsA total of 228 parents were enrolled. The mean overall discharge readiness score was 152.16 ± 18.05, with a mean item score of 6.94 ± 1.16. Correlation analysis showed significant associations between discharge readiness and parental relationship to the child (mother/father; r = 0.586), age (r = -0.563), education level (r = 0.620), place of residence (r = 0.595), and monthly personal income (r = 0.561; all p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression confirmed these five factors as independent predictors of discharge readiness (mother vs. father: p = 0.024; parental age: p = 0.017; education level: p = 0.029; urban vs. rural residence: p = 0.033; monthly income [per 1,000 RMB]: p = 0.008). The model explained 41% of the variance in discharge readiness scores (adjusted R² = 0.41), with no significant multicollinearity (all VIF < 2).
conclusionParents of pediatric patients in the pediatric ICU exhibit low levels of discharge readiness. These findings offer preliminary references for healthcare professionals to address key influencing factors, with further validation in broader settings needed.
