AdCom study-adolescent communication group therapy for externalising disorders.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundCommunication difficulties are associated with oppositional symptoms in young people. We hypothesise that a communication group intervention will reduce oppositional symptoms in young people. Previous research on communication and social skills training in young people with externalising disorders is limited.
aimsWe aimed to (1) develop and describe a group communication intervention to promote social competence in adolescents with behaviour difficulties, for use in CAMHS with those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)/externalising disorders, and (2) collect pilot data on the effectiveness of this intervention.
methodsWe developed and delivered a programme of eight sessions to eight adolescents aged 12 to 13 years. We describe the intervention and challenges running the programme. We present pilot study data on pre- and post-oppositional symptoms.
resultsOur programme was relatively well attended; pilot data indicated a small reduction in oppositional symptoms in all participants. Challenges in running the group were noted.
conclusionsOur pilot study data suggest that further research is needed to study the effects of a communication group intervention on oppositional symptoms in a larger number of adolescents.
