A Caregiver-Child Intervention for Mitigating Toxic Stress ("The Resiliency Clinic"): A Pilot Study.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionPrimary care-based interventions that promote nurturing caregiving relationships and early relational health may help mitigate toxic stress and promote resilience in children. This pilot study aims to: (1) describe a novel group-based, psychoeducational primary care intervention for children experiencing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) ("The Resiliency Clinic"), (2) assess program feasibility and acceptability, and (3) explore effects on child/caregiver behavioral health.
methodsIntervention design centered on promoting supportive caregiving, caregiver/child self-regulation and co-regulation and teaching evidence-based stress management tools. Program feasibility and acceptability were assessed through attendance data and caregiver focus groups. Behavioral health measures were obtained at baseline and 8-month follow-up.
resultsOf 101 eligible families, 38 (37.6%) enrolled and attended a median of 3.00 (mean = 2.95, sd = 1.75) out of 6 sessions. Caregivers reported high satisfaction and benefits including stress management tools and connection with staff and other parents. There were modest, statistically non-significant improvements in caregiver stress (d = 0.23) and child executive functioning (d = 0.27). DISCUSSION: In conclusion, a group intervention teaching supportive caregiving and stress mitigation is feasible and acceptable for many families in an urban federally qualified health center (FQHC) with a signal for modest improvements in behavioral health. Future program iterations will seek to address participation barriers and expand the intervention's capacity to promote early relational health.
