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

objectiveOptimizing multicomponent behavioral and biobehavioral interventions presents a complex decision problem. To arrive at an intervention that is both effective and readily implementable, it may be necessary to weigh effectiveness against implementability when deciding which components to select for inclusion. Different components may have differential effectiveness on an array of outcome variables. Moreover, different decision-makers will approach this problem with different objectives and preferences. Recent advances in decision-making methodology in the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) have opened new possibilities for intervention scientists to optimize interventions based on a wide variety of decision-maker preferences, including those that involve multiple outcome variables. In this study, we introduce decision analysis for intervention value efficiency (DAIVE), a decision-making framework for use in MOST that incorporates these new decision-making methods. We apply DAIVE to select optimized interventions based on empirical data from a factorial optimization trial.

methodWe define various sets of hypothetical decision-maker preferences, and we apply DAIVE to identify optimized interventions appropriate to each case.

resultsWe demonstrate how DAIVE can be used to make decisions about the composition of optimized interventions and how the choice of optimized intervention can differ according to decision-maker preferences and objectives.

conclusionsWe offer recommendations for intervention scientists who want to apply DAIVE to select optimized interventions based on data from their own factorial optimization trials. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
