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

objectiveTo determine program satisfaction and preliminary efficacy of Traumatic Brain Injury Positive Strategies (TIPS), a web-based training for parenting strategies after child brain injury.

designA randomized controlled trial with parallel assignment to TIPS intervention or usual-care control (TAU). The three testing time-points were pretest, posttest within 30 days of assignment, and 3-month follow-up. Reported in accordance with CONSORT extensions to randomized feasibility and pilot trials

settingOnline.

participantsEighty-three volunteers recruited nationally who were 18 years of age or older, U.S. residents, English speaking and reading, had access to high-speed internet, and were living with and caring for a child who was hospitalized overnight with a brain injury (ages 3-18 years, able to follow simple commands; N=83).

interventionsEight interactive behavioral training modules on parent strategies. The usual-care control was an informational website.

main outcome measuresThe proximal outcomes were User Satisfaction, Usefulness, Usability, Feature Preference, Strategy Utilization and Effectiveness, and Learning and Self-Efficacy for TIPS program participants. The primary outcomes were: Strategy Knowledge, Application, and Strategy-Application Confidence; Family Impact Module of Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL); and Caregiver Self-Efficacy Scale. The secondary outcomes were TIPS vs TCore PedsQL and Health Behavior Inventory (HBI)

resultsPre- and posttest assessments were completed by 76 of 83 caregivers; 74 completed their 3-month follow-up. Linear growth models indicated that relative to TAU, TIPS yielded greater increases in Strategy Knowledge over the 3-month study (d=.61). Other comparisons did not reach significance. Outcomes were not moderated by child age, SES, or disability severity measured by Cognitive Function Module of PedsQL. All TIPS participants were satisfied with the program.

conclusionsOf the 10 outcomes tested, only TBI knowledge significantly improved relative to TAU.
