1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundReablement is a team-based person-centered health and social care model, most commonly available for community-dwelling older adults. Understanding the components of reablement and how it is delivered, received, and enacted facilitates best evidence and practice. Determining behavior change techniques (BCTs) or strategies is an important step to operationalize implementation of reablement.

objectiveWe conducted a scoping review of peer-reviewed literature to identify BCTs used within reablement studies.

methodsWe registered our study with the Joanna Briggs Institute and conducted five database searches. Inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed studies focused on adults and older adults without significant cognitive impairment or dementia receiving reablement, and all study designs, years, and languages. We excluded studies focused on reablement for people with dementia or reablement training programs. The last search was on April 8, 2021. Two authors screened independently at Level 1 (title and abstract) and 2 (full text). Two authors adjudicated BCTs for each study, and a third author confirmed the final list.

resultsWe identified 567 studies (591 publications) and included 21 studies (44 publications) from six global locations. We identified 27 different BCTs across all studies. The three most common BCTs for reablement were goal setting (behavior), social support (unspecified), and instruction on how to perform a behavior.

conclusionsWe highlight some behavioral components of reablement and encourage detailed reporting to increase transparency and replication of the intervention. Future research should explore effective BCTs (or combinations of) to include within reablement to support health behavior adoption and maintenance.
