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.

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.

Abstract

introductionA lack of education, resources and support for family carers of young adults with psychotic illnesses leaves them ill-equipped to support their loved one. By equipping families with skills and knowledge, public healthcare harnesses a powerful ally to support community stabilisation.

aimsThe primary goal is to study the effect of a psychoeducation intervention for family carers supporting young adults with psychosis on family burden and stabilisation of service users. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A longitudinal quantitative study with a pre-post design will be used to assess the long-term effectiveness of the psychoeducation intervention for family carers supporting a young adult with psychosis. 111 family carers will be recruited for the intervention and measures will be taken from family carer participants and their matched young adult service users. Nine evidence and family peer-informed and expert-reviewed psychoeducation modules are administered in 2-hour sessions over 9 weeks to family carers. Functional index measures are administered preintervention, and at 6-month, 12-month and 24-month follow-up. Service utilisation will be measured during a 12-month period preintervention, a 12-month period postintervention and during a 12-24-month period post-intervention. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been reviewed and approved by the University of Alberta Research Ethics Board (Pro00110691). This novel methodological approach to studying family psychoeducation interventions addresses unique methodological challenges and limitations and will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and academic and medical conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05500001; National Institutes of Health U.S. National Library of Medicine ClinicalTrials.gov.
