CHOICES for sickle cell reproductive health: A protocol of a randomized preconception intervention model for a single gene disorder.
Article in PloS one, 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
Our long-term goal is to foster genetically informed reproductive health knowledge and behaviors among young adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) or sickle cell trait (SCT) with a web-based, tailored, multimedia intervention called CHOICES. CHOICES is designed to help young adults with SCD or SCT preconception to gain knowledge of genetic inheritance, specify their reproductive health intentions (their parenting plan), and engage in reproductive health behaviors concordant with their parenting plan. In a previous study, we found high acceptability of both the e-Book (usual care control) and CHOICES interventions. We also found sustained (24 months), significant effects on knowledge but not on behavior, most likely because half of the recruited group was not at risk for their children inheriting SCD. Hence, we propose an adequately powered randomized controlled trial with the CHOICES intervention and an e-Book control to compare their effects on genetic inheritance knowledge and at-risk reproductive health behaviors (immediate posttest and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months). We will conduct subgroup analyses to provide insight into the baseline knowledge and behavior as well as the intervention effects in different demographic or acceptability groups. Given the scalability and low cost of CHOICES, if proved to be effective, it can reach the affected population at low cost.
