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

objectiveChildren and adolescents confronted with parental cancer are highly vulnerable. During such a family crisis, the social environment and external institutions (e.g., kindergarten, school) can play a crucial role in providing stability and support. This study aims to adapt and pilot-test an existing training program on parental cancer for educational professionals.

methodThis study is divided into three phases: (1) conducting qualitative interviews with parents with cancer, their children and educational professionals, (2) adapting an existing training program for healthcare professionals to the context of educational professionals, and (3) pilot-testing the training program using quantitative and qualitative methods.

resultsInterview results indicate that school is an important place to provide normality and stability. Parents appreciated it when educational professionals took the initiative by offering conversations, support and practical help. The adaptation resulted in a 3-h training and was provided for n = 8 voluntary educational professionals. Preliminary results indicate that participants felt more knowledgeable, confident and empathic towards affected families after the training.

conclusionPreliminary findings indicate that the training is a feasible approach to enhance knowledge and self-confidence of educational professionals in dealing with families affected by parental cancer. To validate these findings from a small study sample, further research is needed.
