1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Intervention programs have been developed to help parents cope with their child's cancer. Despite some studies reporting a high level of evidence, it is unclear how these programs build on each other. Appraising models of change is critical to advance scientific knowledge and provide evidence-based interventions. This review aims to identify existing programs, explicitly formulate their underlying models, evaluate how they translate into concrete activities, as well as identify and discuss their development process. Eleven programs based on models of change from cognitive-behavioral, systemic and counselling theories were identified. Many models included a sound theoretical framework, targeted outcomes, as well as implementation strategies. In most cases, preliminary development studies were conducted, but details were rarely provided on how development stages informed the redesign of intervention programs. Acceptability and treatment fidelity were not available for one-third of the programs. Future reports should document the development and design redesign stages prior to conducting efficacy trials, as this step would provide crucial details to critically appraise programs.
