SynthesisJournal of pediatric psychology2014
Systematic review and meta-analysis of psychological interventions to promote treatment adherence in children, adolescents, and young adults with chronic illness.
Synthesis in Journal of pediatric psychology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 70 papers, 11 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
objectiveThis meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of recent adherence-promoting interventions for youth with chronic health conditions.
methodsPeer-reviewed randomized controlled trials of adherence-promoting interventions for youth with a chronic illness published between 2007 and 2013 (n = 23) were reviewed. Intervention delivery (in-person vs. technology-based) and outcome measurement (e.g., self-report) were examined as potential moderators of treatment effects.
resultsMean effect sizes were small at posttreatment (d = 0.20, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.08, 0.31, n = 23) and follow-up (d = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.43, n = 9). Intervention delivery and outcome measurement did not account for variation in treatment effects (p > .05).
conclusionsThe small treatment effects of recent adherence-promoting intervention (APIs) reflect the methodological limitations of the included studies and the need to reexamine the delivery and mechanisms of adherence-promoting interventions.
