Pain-related fear in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain: process evaluation of an interdisciplinary graded exposure program.
Trial report in BMC health services research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02181725 (Effectiveness and Cost-effectiveness of a Multimodal Rehabilitation Programme), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Effectiveness and Cost-effectiveness of a Multimodal Rehabilitation Programme (MRP) for Adolescents With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain (12-21 Years) Compared to Care as Usual (CAU); a Randomized Clinical Trial (2B Active)

Abstract
backgroundFor studying the effectiveness of treatment, it is important to check whether a new treatment is performed as originally described in the study-protocol.
objectivesTo evaluate whether an interdisciplinary graded exposure program, for adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain reporting pain-related fear, was performed according to protocol, and whether it is feasible to implement the program in rehabilitation care.
methodsA process evaluation where quantitative and qualitative data on participant characteristics (adolescents, parents and therapists), attendance and participants' opinion on the program were collected, by means of registration forms, questionnaires and group interviews. To evaluate treatment fidelity, audio and video recordings of program sessions were analyzed.
resultsThirty adolescents were offered the program, of which 23 started the program. Adolescents attended on average 90% of the sessions. At least one parent per adolescent participated in the program. Analysis of 20 randomly selected recordings of treatment sessions revealed that treatment fidelity was high, since 81% of essential treatment elements were offered to the adolescents. The program was considered client-centered by adolescents and family-centered by parents. Treatment teams wished to continue offering the program in their center.
conclusionThe interdisciplinary graded exposure program was performed largely according to protocol, and therapists, adolescents and their parents had a favorable opinion on the program. Implementation of the program in rehabilitation care is considered feasible.
