Linking Parent Confidence and Hospitalization through Mobile Health: A Multisite Pilot Study.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo evaluate the associations between parent confidence in avoiding hospitalization and subsequent hospitalization in children with medical complexity (CMC); and feasibility/acceptability of a texting platform, Assessing Confidence at Times of Increased Vulnerability (ACTIV), to collect repeated measures of parent confidence. STUDY
designThis prospective cohort study purposively sampled parent-child dyads (n = 75) in 1 of 3 complex care programs for demographic diversity to pilot test ACTIV for 3 months. At random days/times every 2 weeks, parents received text messages asking them to rate confidence in their child avoiding hospitalization in the next month, from 1 (not confident) to 10 (fully confident). Unadjusted and adjusted generalized estimating equations with repeated measures evaluated associations between confidence and hospitalization in the next 14 days. Post-study questionnaires and focus groups assessed ACTIV's feasibility/acceptability.
resultsParents were 77.3% mothers and 20% Spanish-speaking. Texting response rate was 95.6%. Eighteen hospitalizations occurred within 14 days after texting, median (IQR) 8 (2-10) days. When confidence was <5 vs ≥5, adjusted odds (95% CI) of hospitalization within 2 weeks were 4.02 (1.20-13.51) times greater. Almost all (96.8%) reported no burden texting, one-third desired more frequent texts, and 93.7% were very likely to continue texting. Focus groups explored the meaning of responses and suggested ACTIV improvements.
conclusionsIn this demographically diverse multicenter pilot, low parent confidence predicted impending CMC hospitalization. Text messaging was feasible and acceptable. Future work will test efficacy of real-time interventions triggered by parent-reported low confidence.
