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

objectiveTo map educational interventions using digital technologies that promote parental empowerment in situations of vulnerability.

methodA scoping review according to the JBI methodology was conducted. Searches were carried out in the CINAHL, MEDLINE, Psychology and Behavioral Science Collection, MedicLatina, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Clinical Answers, and Web of Science databases, as well as in the Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal and the Google Scholar search engine. Eligibility criteria included parents and families in situations of vulnerability, digital educational interventions promoting parental empowerment, and all intervention settings.

results984 records were identified, and ten studies were included. The evidence was distributed across four axes of vulnerability, involving participants from the gestational period to early childhood. Interventions were conducted in hospital and/or home settings, with mobile applications predominating, followed by platforms/websites, with occasional use of social media, messaging, and video resources. Information provision predominated, frequently combined with emotional regulation. Minority interventions involving behavior demonstration and environmental modification were also identified.

conclusionDigital educational interventions appear promising and complementary to in-person care, strengthening the relationship and communication between parents and professionals and enabling more accessible, customizable, and continuous care.
