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

This study aimed to examine consumer perceptions and priorities for safety and quality in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) to inform safety measurement and quality improvement efforts. We conducted a cross-sectional, co-designed survey distributed to PICU parents/caregivers across Australia and New Zealand. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analysed using descriptive statistics and inductive content analysis. One hundred and seventeen parents/caregivers identified three key safety themes: foundations for safer care delivery, understanding as a foundation for safety, and shared voices, safer choices. The most frequently selected quantitative measurement priorities by respondents were nurse staffing and communication.
