Behavioral Activation Augmented With Mobile Technology for Depression and Anxiety in Chronic Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
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. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo describe and provide the rationale for a randomized controlled trial for depression or anxiety after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), which will test 2 treatments based on behavioral activation (BA), a promising model to promote both positive mood and increased activity in this population.
designRandomized controlled trial with masked outcome assessment.
settingOutpatient catchment area of 1 TBI treatment center.
participantsCommunity-dwelling persons (N=60) with moderate-severe TBI at least 6 months prior to enrollment and greater than mild depression or anxiety.
interventionsParticipants will be randomized 2:1 into an 8-session treatment, behavioral activation with technology, consisting of 6 face-to-face sessions and 2 via phone, with mood and activity monitoring conducted via ecological momentary assessment on a smartphone; or a single session incorporating BA principles followed by 8 weeks of activity reminders in the form of implementation intentions, delivered as text messages.
main outcome measuresBrief Symptom Inventory-18 (primary outcome); Environmental Reward Observation Scale, Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale, Participation Assessment with Recombined Tools-Objective, Diener Satisfaction With Life Scale, Quality of Life after Brain Injury scale, Patient Global Impression of Change. Outcomes are measured midway through intervention, after treatment cessation (primary outcome), and at 2-month follow-up. A treatment enactment interview is administered after the follow-up to ascertain to what extent participants continue to engage in activities and use strategies promoted during trial participation.
