Barriers to and facilitators of a just-in-time adaptive intervention for respiratory illness in cerebral palsy: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo understand caregiver, healthcare professional and national expert perspectives on implementation of a just-in-time adaptive intervention, RE-PACT (Respiratory Exacerbation-Plans for Action and Care Transitions) to prevent respiratory crises in severe cerebral palsy.
designQualitative research study.
settingPaediatric complex care programmes at two academic medical institutions.
participantsA total of n=4 focus groups were conducted with caregivers of children with severe cerebral palsy and chronic respiratory illness, n=4 with healthcare professionals, and n=1 with national experts.
methodsParticipants viewed a video summarising RE-PACT, which includes action planning, mobile health surveillance of parent confidence to avoid hospitalisation and rapid clinical response at times of low confidence. Moderated discussion elicited challenges and benefits of RE-PACT's design, and inductive thematic analysis elicited implementation barriers and facilitators.
resultsOf the 19 caregivers recruited, nearly half reported at least one hospitalisation for their child in the prior year. Healthcare professionals and national experts (n=26) included physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, social workers and researchers. Four overarching themes and their barriers/facilitators emphasised the importance of design and interpersonal relationships balanced against health system infrastructure constraints. Intervention usefulness in crisis scenarios relies on designing action plans for intuitiveness and accuracy, and mobile health surveillance tools for integration into daily life. Trust, knowledge, empathy and adequate clinician capacity are essential components of clinical responder-caregiver relationships.
conclusionsRE-PACT's identified barriers are addressable. Just-in-time adaptive interventions for cerebral palsy appear well-suited to address families' need to tailor intervention content to levels of experience, preference and competing demands.
