Peer Support for Post Intensive Care Syndrome Self-Management (PS-PICS): Study protocol for peer mentor training.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimsThe primary aim of the Peer Support for Post Intensive Care Syndrome Self-Management (PS-PICS) peer mentor training trial is to determine the feasibility for peer mentor training to connect new ICU survivors with survivors who have made successful recoveries. Secondary aims are to also examine peer mentor eligibility, recruitment and retention rates and assess changes in participant knowledge of Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), reported symptoms and health-related quality of life.
designProspective clinical feasibility trial.
methodsThis study received funding from the National Institutes of Health funded P30 Center for Excellence (2014-2020). Up to 20 adult patients who have had an ICU stay of 3 days or longer more than 3 months ago will be enrolled into the study. Participants will undergo a 6-week peer mentor training program to learn how to promote healthy self-management behaviours, social connections, and well-being using motivational interviewing (MI). Participants will complete surveys about their recovery at 3 points during the study: prior to training, 6 weeks post-training and 3 months post-training. Survey questions will be used to assess trends in participant social isolation, depression, functional status, and self-management behaviours. DISCUSSION: Enrollment closes by December 2020. As a feasibility trial, power sufficient for hypothesis testing will not be available. However, study operations and intervention fidelity contribute to future research knowledge and participant characteristics and longitudinal outcomes will yield data on intervention feasibility. This study is the first use of embedding peer-led motivational interviewing training into a peer support intervention for ICU survivors. IMPACT: Current self-management interventions are limited for ICU survivors and do not sufficiently address barriers to promoting self-management behaviours or improving their health status, well-being and cost of health. This study will provide data to develop and implement interventions for the self-management of PICS-related symptoms and sequelae.
