Associations between protective resources and family functioning after traumatic brain injury: A cross-sectional study using a structural equation modeling approach.
Trial report in NeuroRehabilitation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundA strength-based approach in the rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is recommended for patients and their families. However, further exploration of the complexity of individual and family factors is needed.
objectiveTo explore the associations between individual protective resources in patients and family members and the overall family functioning using a strength-based approach.
methodsSecondary analysis of data collected at baseline in a randomized controlled trial. Structural equation modeling with two latent constructs and six observed variables was performed. Outcome measures included the Resilience Scale for Adults, the Mental Component Summary (SF-36), the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale-IV.
resultsHundred and twenty-two participants (60 patients, 62 family members) with a mean age of 43 years were included at a median of 11 months post-injury. The final model demonstrated a strong covariance (coefficient = 0.61) between the latent Protective construct and Family functioning. Model-fit statistics indicated an acceptable fit to the data.
conclusionHigher levels of protective resources (resilience, self-efficacy, and mental HRQL) were positively associated with family functioning. These resources should be further assessed in patients and their families, to identify factors that can be strengthened through TBI rehabilitation intervention.
