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
backgroundPediatric oncology patients encounter substantial psychosocial and psychiatric challenges alongside physical illness and treatment burdens. Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (CLP) is critical for addressing these young patients' mental health needs within a broader healthcare framework. Socioeconomic disparities, family dynamics, and educational interruptions further complicate the psychiatric landscape in pediatric oncology.
aimsThis study aims to explore the sociodemographic and psychiatric profiles of pediatric oncology patients referred to CLP services.
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 97 pediatric oncology patients who received CLP consultations over two years. Data included sociodemographic details, clinical history, and psychiatric diagnoses based on structured clinical interviews. Statistical analyses, including multivariate logistic regression, examined relationships between psychiatric outcomes and variables such as SES, educational status, and clinical factors.
resultsThe sample was predominantly of low SES (72.2%), with depression, adjustment disorders, and sleep disorders frequently observed. Patients unable to continue formal education due to their oncological disease and treatment process showed higher rates of depression. Significant associations emerged between psychopathology and factors such as lower SES, older parental age, and steroid use, although the predictive strength was modest. Most psychiatric consultations occurred due to observed psychiatric complaints rather than proactive psychosocial support, highlighting a reactive rather than preventive approach in CLP practice.
conclusionsFindings highlight the importance of early, structured psychiatric intervention and a proactive CLP approach to mitigate the psychiatric impact on pediatric oncology patients. Addressing SES-based disparities and supporting educational continuity are essential for holistic pediatric cancer care.
