The Effect of Adjunct Telephone Support on Adherence and Outcomes of the Reboot Online Pain Management Program: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of medical Internet research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundInternet-based treatment programs present a solution for providing access to pain management for those unable to access clinic-based multidisciplinary pain programs. Attrition from internet interventions is a common issue. Clinician-supported guidance can be an important feature in web-based interventions; however, the optimal level of therapist guidance and expertise required to improve adherence remains unclear.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to evaluate whether augmenting the existing Reboot Online program with telephone support by a clinician improves program adherence and effectiveness compared with the web-based program alone.
methodsA 2-armed, CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials)-compliant, registered randomized controlled trial with one-to-one group allocation was conducted. It compared a web-based multidisciplinary pain management program, Reboot Online, combined with telephone support (n=44) with Reboot Online alone (n=45) as the control group. Participants were recruited through web-based social media and the This Way Up service provider network. The primary outcome for this study was adherence to the Reboot Online program. Adherence was quantified through three metrics: completion of the program, the number of participants who enrolled into the program, and the number of participants who commenced the program. Data on adherence were collected automatically through the This Way Up platform. Secondary measures of clinical effectiveness were also collected.
resultsReboot Online combined with telephone support had a positive effect on enrollment and commencement of the program compared with Reboot Online without telephone support. Significantly more participants from the Reboot Online plus telephone support group enrolled (41/44, 93%) into the course than those from the control group (35/45, 78%; χ
conclusionsTelephone support improves participants' registration, program commencement, and engagement in the early phase of the internet intervention; however, it did not seem to have an impact on overall course completion or efficacy.
