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

backgroundDespite a number of clinicians having been trained in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in Aotearoa/New Zealand, few are regularly delivering the treatment, with barriers to use including a lack of suitable equipment and lack of professional support. This pragmatic, parallel-arm, randomised, controlled pilot trial includes PCIT-trained clinicians who are not delivering, or only rarely utilising, this effective treatment. The study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability and cultural responsivity of study methods and intervention components and to collect variance data on the proposed future primary outcome variable, in preparation for a future, larger trial.

methodsThe trial will compare a novel 're-implementation' intervention with a refresher training and problem-solving control. Intervention components have been systematically developed to address barriers and facilitators to clinician use of PCIT using implementation theory, and a draft logic model with hypothesised mechanisms of action, derived from a series of preliminary studies. The intervention includes complimentary access to necessary equipment for PCIT implementation (audio-visual equipment, a 'pop-up' time-out space, toys), a mobile senior PCIT co-worker and an optional weekly PCIT consultation group, for a 6-month period. Outcomes will include the feasibility of recruitment and trial procedures; acceptability of the intervention package and data collection methods to clinicians; and clinician adoption of PCIT. DISCUSSION: Relatively little research attention has been directed at interventions to resurrect stalled implementation efforts. Results from this pragmatic pilot RCT will refine and shape knowledge relating to what it might take to embed the ongoing delivery of PCIT in community settings, providing more children and families with access to this effective treatment.
