Experiences of Past Discrimination and Caregiver Communication During Family-Centered Rounds.
Article in Hospital pediatrics, 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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to assess the relationship between experiences of past discrimination (ie, discrimination) and caregiver participatory behaviors during family-centered rounds (FCR).
methodsWe conducted a mixed-methods cross-sectional study investigating the association between discrimination among Black and Latino(a/e) caregivers and communication on FCR from February 2024 to April 2025. FCR were audio-recorded, and caregivers completed surveys that collected demographics, ratings of interpersonal processes of care (IPC), and discrimination. Discrimination was measured using an abbreviated validated Experiences of Discrimination instrument. We stratified caregivers into 3 groups: no discrimination, discrimination in health care, and discrimination outside of health care. Staff coded the type and content of caregiver participatory behaviors. Kruskal-Wallis testing compared survey and coded measures among the 3 groups.
resultsWe recorded, transcribed, and coded FCR with 56 Black and Latino(a/e) caregivers; 30 (54%) reported no discrimination, 18 (32%) reported discrimination outside of health care, and 8 (14%) reported discrimination in health care. Caregivers with discrimination in health care asked a higher median (IQR) number of questions per interaction (5 [2, 8]) compared with those with no discrimination (1 [0, 3]) and discrimination outside of health care (1.5 [1, 4]; P = .03). They made more assertive statements (4.5 [3.5, 5.5]) compared with those with no discrimination (2 [0, 2]) and discrimination outside of health care (0.5 [0-2]; P < .001). Other significant associations included increased behaviors categorized as advocacy and seeking medical understanding. IPC ratings were significantly lower in the interpersonal style domain for these caregivers.
conclusionsDiscrimination in health care is associated with increased caregiver participatory behaviors on FCR. These behaviors, which may represent increased caregiver vigilance, support clinician use of trauma-informed communication.
