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
aimThe current study aimed to explore the practice of pediatric nurses in family-centered care (FCC) in pediatric settings.
methodsA qualitative phenomenological descriptive design was used to explore the practice of FCC among pediatric nurses. Pediatric nurses worked in medical, surgical, and intensive care units of a tertiary care public hospital in Eastern India. An in-depth face-to-face individual interview was conducted using a semi-structured interview guide among 15 nurses. Content analysis was done, and data were managed using NVIVO software.
resultsThe two main themes that emerged from the data on the practice of FCC were "Enablers of FCC" and "Disablers of FCC." The subthemes under "Enablers of FCC" were "participation, cooperation, connectivity, decision making, orientation/awareness," and the subthemes under "Disablers of FCC" were "parental resistance, undermining, language barrier, dysfunctional parental behavior, and policy deficit."
conclusionNurses reported barriers that hindered their ability to practice those FCC components. Nurses acknowledged the willingness of parents in childcare, their participation in decision-making, and cooperation from parents in childcare. As the FCC has been considered a trend in child care, and when applied in the Indian scenario, identifying the primary obstacles, orienting the FCC concept, and addressing cultural differences is highly essential. Before implementing the policy, it can be modified to fit the settings that contribute to better healthcare. Cite this article as: Alfianoora, K.N., Joseph, H. B., & Shetty, A. P. (2026).
