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

purposeTo evaluate the impact of the “My Hospital Friend YARENCİK” initiative on hospital adaptation among children aged one to three, and to identify factors influencing this adaptation.

methodThe study was conducted using a pre-test–post-test controlled quasi-experimental design and took place between March 2021 and October 2021 at the pediatrics clinic of a teaching and research hospital with children aged 1–3 years. Participants were sequentially assigned first to the control group (n = 38) and then to the experimental group (n = 34). Data were obtained using the Personal Information Form (containing the children’s and mothers’ personal information) and the Children’s Hospital Adaptation Evaluation Scale. Ethical principles were followed.

resultsA significant difference was found in favor of the experimental group in the post-test between the mean scores of The Children’s Hospital Adaptation Evaluation Scale (p<.001). In addition, the hospital compliance of three-year-old children whose mothers were working was found to be significantly higher (p<.05).

conclusionA group of one-to-three-year-olds admitted to the hospital found it easier to adhere to the nursing initiative when using My Hospital Friend Yarencik in their playtime. Hospitalized children who are one and two years old and whose mothers do not work may need more attention.
