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
backgroundResearch into patient and public involvement (PPI) in healthcare has gained increasing recognition over recent decades. The insights and experiences of parents of adolescents with chronic illness are valuable and can inform adolescent healthcare services, including adolescents’ transfer from pediatric to adult care. However, few studies have documented both the process and outcomes of involving parents in adolescent healthcare research as research partners. We aimed to report and evaluate the involvement of such parents in the co-development of a complex transfer intervention and to assess their experience of involvement.
methodsIn this case study, we used the ParTNerSTEPs program as an instrumental case of PPI, where participatory design was the overarching PPI methodology. To report and evaluate parental involvement, we applied the Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and Public (GRIPP2) and the Patient Engagement in Research Scale (PEIRS-22). Eleven parents of adolescents with a chronic illness were involved in co-developing the transfer intervention, ParTNerSTEPs; five also participated in a collaboration group. Parents were involved through individual interviews, a World Café workshop, an online brainstorm, individual Teams meetings, and group emails. Three parents from the collaboration group participated as research partners in this case study. They contributed to the analysis of the findings and, together with the research team, formulated recommendations for future PPI.
resultsParents preferred a combination of in-person and online methods to involve them, but emphasized that getting to know the primary researcher was essential before transitioning to online formats. Challenges were identified, particularly in preparing parents for their role in the study. Many were unfamiliar with research terminology and academic English, which at times limited their perceived ability to contribute meaningfully to the intervention’s development and act as co-authors. Nonetheless, the PEIRS-22 total score, completed by parents from the collaboration group, (mean [SD]) was 90.3 (10.8), indicating a very meaningful level of involvement.
conclusionsA combination of in-person and online methods was associated with a very meaningful level of involvement. Tailoring involvement strategies to parents’ preferences and capacities supports meaningful and equitable participation.
