Efficacy of a Resourcefulness Intervention to Enhance the Physical and Mental Health of Parents Caring for Technology-dependent Children at Home: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of pediatric health care : official publication of National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates & Practitioners. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionParent caregivers of children who require lifesaving medical technology (e.g., mechanical ventilation, feeding tubes) must constantly maintain vigilance. Poor physical and psychological health can negatively impact their ability to do so.
methodA two-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted with 197 parent caregivers of technology-dependent children (aged < 18 years) to test the efficacy of Resourcefulness Training
resultsMixed-effects models using the intent-to-treat principle indicated statistically significant improvement with intervention participants at six and/or nine months postintervention for depressive cognitions, perceived stress, and physical HRQOL, controlling for covariates. DISCUSSION: Study findings support the efficacy of Resourcefulness Training to significantly decrease perceived stress and improve psychological/physical outcomes with these vulnerable caregivers.
