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

purposeThis study aimed to identify the relationships among nurse-parent partnership, social support, uncertainty, and parental efficacy among mothers of children hospitalized in pediatric wards.

methodsThis descriptive survey study included 149 mothers of children hospitalized in pediatric wards at 5 hospitals in the Chungcheong region from August 12 to September 17, 2025. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis.

resultsParental efficacy was positively correlated with social support (r=.35, p<.001) and negatively correlated with uncertainty (r=-.36, p<.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that uncertainty (β=-.26, p=.001) and social support (β=.24, p=.003) were significantly associated with parental efficacy and explained 21.0% of the variance.

conclusionUncertainty and social support were key factors associated with parental efficacy among mothers of children hospitalized in pediatric wards. Nursing interventions to enhance parental efficacy should therefore focus on reducing maternal uncertainty by providing specific, repeated information and fostering a supportive nursing environment that helps mothers recognize and use available social support.
