A longitudinal study of supportive care needs among Chinese parents of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: To determine parents' supportive care needs trajectories over the first 8 months following their children's diagnosis and identify the predictors of these trajectories. Methods: Overall, 100/112 Chinese parents of children newly diagnosed with ALL were recruited. The parents' supportive care needs were tracked at four key time points when the needs were most likely to change: post-diagnosis, induction remission phase, consolidation therapy phase, and post-acute treatment. Latent class growth modeling (LCGM) or growth mixture model (GMM) was used to identify trajectories within each of six needs domains of supportive care needs. Logistic regression was used to identify factors predicting trajectory patterns. Results: Overall, parents' supportive care needs peaked immediately after diagnosis, declined throughout treatment, and stabilized between the consolidation and post-acute stages. Notably, the trajectories of each domain varied across parent subgroups. Three health care and informational needs trajectories, two daily care and communication needs trajectories, two psychological and spiritual needs trajectories, two medical service needs trajectories, three economic needs trajectories, and two emotional needs trajectories were identified. The class membership was significantly associated with parents' education level, employment status, the family's residency area, average monthly household income, type of medical payment, daily caregiving time, age of child, single child, parents' self-efficacy, and caregiving ability ( Conclusions: This study identified the dynamic evolution and distinct trajectories of parents' supportive care needs, along with their key predictors. The findings provide a solid foundation for developing stage- and population-specific interventions, offering practical guidance for optimizing family-centered care and informing supportive policy formulation in pediatric oncology settings.
