From crisis to care: evaluating nursing competencies in pediatric intensive care units through family eyes.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundPediatric nurses play pillar roles in providing continuous, holistic care for critically ill children. Hence, family satisfaction and nursing care competencies have surfaced as critical channels of quality of care in pediatric intensive care units.
aimThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between children's family satisfaction and nursing care competencies in Pediatric Intensive Care Units.
methodsA cross-sectional correlational research design was conducted in five pediatric intensive care units at children's hospitals related to different health sectors in Alexandria. A convenient sample of 150 pediatric critical care nurses who provided direct care for critically ill children in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) and 218 families of critically ill children. The children's socio-demographic and clinical data record, the pediatric family satisfaction with care in the intensive care unit questionnaire, and the nurse professional competence scale-short version were used to collect data.
resultsThe findings of the study showed that the mean score of overall pFS-ICU was 80.0 ± 5.75 and the mean score of overall NPC-SV was 101.75 ± 19.66. Additionally, a significant strong positive correlation was reported between the overall NPC-SV and overall families' satisfaction (r = 0.656, p < 0.001).
conclusionFamily satisfaction in the PICU is strongly influenced by nurses' medical and technical competence and their ability to deliver well-organized, accurately documented care. While interpersonal, educational, and leadership competencies remain essential components of holistic nursing practice. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
