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
backgroundIn Sweden, general practitioners encounter nearly all children in health visits within the Child Health Services, and these visits have a predetermined agenda according to a national health programme. During the visits, the general practitioner assess the child's health and development and promote their participation. Earlier research has shown that pictorial support can help capture the child's attention during health visits, thereby promoting participation. This study aimed to explore general practitioners' experiences of using pictorial support to promote three-year-olds' participation in encounters within the Swedish Child Health Services.
methodsThe study employed a qualitative design, and data were collected through interviews with 20 general practitioners. Deductive content analysis was used when analysing the data.
resultsThe study conveys that general practitioners experience that the pictorial support is a helpful strategy for listening to the child's views and acting on them. This strategy helps to establish a relationship with the child, promote their participation in the encounter, and conduct an equitable assessment of their health and development in these often complex and challenging encounters.
conclusionThe pictorial support used in this study was shown to be a helpful strategy for general practitioners in promoting the child's participation and facilitating an equitable assessment of their health and development. These results suggest that using pictorial support can help general practitioners consider children's views and promote their participation in accordance with the Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
