Sun Safe Partners: A pilot and feasibility trial of a couple-focused intervention to improve sun protection practices.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This single arm pilot intervention study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary impact of a Sun Safe Partners, which is a couple-focused intervention targeting improved sun protection behavior. Data were collected from New Jersey between August 2015 and March 2016. Participants were 61 couples reporting low levels of sun protection recruited from an online panel. After providing online consent, couples received mailed pamphlets and participated in a call where they discussed current levels of sun protection, made an Action Plan to improve sun protection, and discussed ways of assisting one another in improving sun protection. A call summary was mailed afterwards. Feasibility was assessed by study enrollment, call participation, follow-up survey completion, and intervention evaluation. Participants completed a baseline survey, and a one month and six month post-intervention survey assessing sun protection as well as individual and relationship-centered sun protection attitudes and practices. Results indicated that acceptance into the trial was 22.1%. Call participation was high (84%) and the intervention was well-evaluated. Among the 51 couples who completed the call and a follow-up, the intervention improved sun protection behaviors. Sun protection benefits, photo-aging risk, and relationship-centered attitudes and practices increased. A couple-focused intervention shows promise for improving sun protection. Future studies using a randomized clinical trial as well as strategies to improve study participation are recommended.
