Feasibility Study of Problem-Solving Training for Care Partners of Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, Burn Injury, or Stroke During the Inpatient Hospital Stay.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 4 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

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the feasibility of delivering an evidence-based self-management intervention, problem-solving training (PST), to care partners of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), burn injury, or stroke during the inpatient hospital stay.
designIn this single group pre-post intervention pilot feasibility study.
settingInpatient rehabilitation or acute care and community.
participantsCare partners (spouse or partner, family member, friend who is in any way responsible for the health or well-being of the care recipient) of individuals with TBI, SCI, burn injury, or stroke (N=39).
interventionPST is a metacognitive self-management intervention that teaches individuals a global strategy for addressing self-selected problems. Participants received up to 6 sessions of PST in person or via telephone during their care recipient's inpatient stay.
main outcome measuresWe measured feasibility of recruitment, intervention delivery, and postintervention use of a smartphone app (Care Partner Problem Solving [CaPPS]) and participant satisfaction (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire [CSQ]) and engagement (Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale [PRPS]) with the intervention.
resultsOf 39 care partners approached, n=10 (25.6%) were ineligible. Of n=29 (74.4%) who were eligible, n=17 (58.6%) refused, and n=12 (41.4%) consented, of whom n=8 (66.7%) completed ≥3 PST sessions. Not perceiving any benefit was the most common reason for refusal, followed by no interest in research. Participants were very satisfied with PST (CSQ mean=3.35, SD=0.60), reported strong working alliance (Working Alliance Inventory mean=6.8, SD=3.1), and demonstrated very good engagement (PRPS mean=4.75, SD=1.41). CaPPS was downloaded and used by only n=3 participants.
conclusionsDelivering a self-management intervention to care partners during the care recipient's acute hospital stay is feasible for a subset of potential participants. Short lengths of stay, language fluency, and perceiving no potential benefit were noted barriers. Boosters via smartphone app have potential, but several barriers must first be overcome.
