Severity, uncertainty, social support and coping style of parents who have children with epilepsy: a structural equation model.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aim: To examine four variables in the model of perceived uncertainty in illness in northwestern China; to explore the relationship between severity, social support, illness uncertainty, and active coping in parents of children with epilepsy. Design: A cross-sectional study design. Reporting method: The STROBE checklist was used to ensure the rigor in this study. Method: This study recruits parents of children with epilepsy from a tertiary children's hospital using convenience sampling between January and November 2024. Eligible participants completed questionnaires via an online platform (https://www.wjx.cn/) by scanning the QR code. Structural equation modeling and mediated effects serve as the methods for data analysis. Result: This study surveyed 492 parents, including 192 males (39.0%) and 300 females (61.0%). The corrected model achieved an acceptable model fit: (χ Conclusion: Illness uncertainty partially mediated the relationship between social support and active coping. However, we did not confirm a relationship between illness severity and active coping in this study.
