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
Background: Family-centered pediatric discharge care requires communication that prepares caregivers for home management, yet high-volume hospitals may compress nursing education into brief, task-focused encounters. Objective: To examine nursing-led discharge communication, receipt of structured home-care instructions, caregiver-reported counseling evaluation, and organizational barriers in a tertiary pediatric hospital in Vietnam. Methods: A convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted from January to June 2025. The quantitative strand included 196 primary family caregivers recruited consecutively; the qualitative strand comprised 11 in-depth interviews with five caregivers and six nursing staff selected purposively. Multivariable logistic regression examined receipt of structured home-care instructions. HC3-robust linear regression examined the continuous seven-item counseling evaluation score using only predictors external to that scale. Reflexive thematic analysis was used for qualitative data, and the strands were integrated through triangulation, narrative weaving, and a joint display. The dichotomized analysis is presented as an exploratory sensitivity supplement only; the primary interpretation is based on the continuous-score robust linear regression model. Results: All caregivers reported individual counseling, but only 36.2% reported receiving specific home-care instructions. Readmission was associated with receipt of structured instructions (adjusted odds ratio = 6.34, 95% CI [3.24, 12.39], Conclusion: Nursing-led discharge contact was nearly universal, but structured home-care instruction was inconsistent and appeared selectively prioritized. Standardized, risk-sensitive discharge education should guarantee core instructions, embed written and digital materials within interactive teaching, and verify caregiver understanding. The counseling evaluation score reflects perceived counseling quality rather than objectively verified home-care competence.
