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-centred care (FCC) is broadly acknowledged as the most effective method in paediatric rehabilitation. This study evaluated the use of FCC and its influencing factors in paediatric rehabilitation services in Rwanda due to scarcity of literature on FCC use in Rwanda. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 107 participants, using census-sampling method. The study used the Wilcoxon rank-sum and Kruskal-Wallis tests to determine the differences in Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC) median scores across socio-demographic variables. A stepwise regression with a P value threshold of <0.25 was used for variable selection. Model fit was determined using Akaike's Information Criterion. Data analysis was performed using Stata version 15. Results: The median age for caregivers was 36 years (IQR: 30-43) and 6 years (IQR: 3-10) for the children. Median rehabilitation duration was 10 months (IQR: 4-28). Common diagnoses were cerebral palsy and physical disability (each 44.9%). Self-employed parents reported higher FCC use compared to part-time employed parents (3.08, 95% CI: 2.02-3.66). Conclusion: Use of FCC in paediatric rehabilitation in Rwanda is influenced by diagnosis, sibling number, child sex, rehabilitation institution, and parental employment. Interventions tailored to these factors are recommended to enhance FCC use.
