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

backgroundTuberous sclerosis complex-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) are often present but underidentified and undertreated in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The clinician-completed TAND-Lifetime Checklist (TAND-L) was developed to address this identification and treatment gap. Stakeholder engagement identified the need for a TAND Checklist that can (1) be completed by caregivers or individuals with TSC and (2) quantify TAND difficulties. The aim of this study was to develop a self-report quantified TAND Checklist (TAND-SQ) and conduct feasibility and acceptability testing.

methodsThis aim was addressed in three phases: (1) development of the TAND-SQ Checklist, (2) feasibility and acceptability testing of the "near-final" TAND-SQ Checklist, and (3) preparation of the final TAND-SQ Checklist. Participants included 23 technical experts from the TAND consortium in all phases and 58 lived experts (caregivers and individuals with TSC) in phase 2. All participants completed a TAND-SQ Checklist and a checklist feedback form.

resultsPhase 1 additions to the TAND-SQ, when compared with the TAND-L, included four new items and a quantification rating. Phase 2 showed high ratings for the "near-final" TAND-SQ Checklist on comprehensiveness, clarity, ease of use, and overall acceptability. In phase 3, questions on strengths, strategies, and a TAND Cluster Profile were added.

conclusionThe TAND-SQ Checklist is presented here for use by individuals with TSC and their caregivers. The next steps as part of the TANDem project include internal and external validation of the checklist and linking of TAND Cluster Profiles generated from the checklist to evidence-informed consensus recommendations within a smartphone application.
