Embedding Compassion and Communication Frameworks in Pediatric Cardiology.
Review in Pediatric cardiology, 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
Compassion and empathy are essential to family-centered care but are often inconsistently applied. This structured narrative review synthesizes current evidence on compassion and communication in congenital heart disease (CHD) and identifies practical strategies for strengthening these skills. A structured narrative review was conducted following SANRA quality criteria and narrative review guidance. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched (January 2000-October 2025) using predefined Boolean combinations of MeSH and keyword terms related to compassion, empathy, communication, counselling, pediatric cardiology, and congenital heart disease. Two reviewers independently screened records and extracted data. Thirty-one studies met inclusion criteria. Evidence suggests that compassion enhances understanding, parental coping, adherence, and clinician wellbeing. Families report substantial gaps in empathic communication at diagnosis, during intensive care, and across the CHD life course. Emerging training interventions (e.g., simulation-based curricula), counselling aids (e.g., 3D models), and the use of structured communication frameworks support improved practice. Key enablers include organizational culture, leadership modelling, and structured feedback. Compassionate communication is a teachable clinical competency. These findings support integration of structured communication training within pediatric cardiology programs and reflective practice to enhance family experience and clinician resilience.
