Virtual Peer Support for People With Cystic Fibrosis and Their Family Members: A Program Evaluation.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We sought to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and benefits of a virtual one-to-one peer support program for people with cystic fibrosis and their family members through a retrospective program evaluation. This peer support program was developed in collaboration with patients, health care providers, and CF Foundation program staff. Mentees were paired with a trained peer mentor for 3-month mentoring via video, phone, email, or text. We found that the peer support program was feasible and acceptable. Success factors include a range of positive benefits including practical support as well as social and emotional support. Two-thirds of mentees reported at least 4 different benefits. Mentors reported multiple benefits after providing support through mentoring. Our program evaluation demonstrates that virtual peer support based on informal sharing of life experiences is an achievable way to provide social support and enhance health and well-being in chronic disease management.
