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.

Abstract

backgroundWe propose a randomized controlled trial(RCT) of a Social Cognitive Theory-based(SCT), Internet-delivered behavioral intervention targeting lifestyle physical activity(LPA) for yielding improvements in cognitive processing speed(CPS), learning and memory(L/M), symptoms, and quality of life(QOL) among persons with mild multiple sclerosis(MS)-related ambulatory impairment who have impaired CPS. METHODS/

designThe study involves a Phase-II, parallel group, RCT design. Participants with MS(N = 300) will be randomly assigned on an equal basis(1:1) into behavioral intervention(n = 150) or attention and social contact control(n = 150) conditions. The conditions will be administered over 6-months by trained behavior coaches who will be uninvolved in screening, recruitment, random assignment, and outcome assessment. We will collect outcome data remotely every 6-months over the 12-month period(baseline, immediate follow-up, and 6-month follow-up) using a treatment blinded assessor. The primary outcome is the raw, oral Symbol Digit Modalities Test as a neuropsychological measure of CPS. The secondary outcomes include the California Verbal Learning Test-II as an objective measure of L/M, and patient-reported outcomes of fatigue, depressive symptoms, anxiety, pain, and QOL. The tertiary outcome is accelerometry as an objective, device-based measure of steps/day for generating a minimal clinically important difference(MCID) value that guides the prescription of LPA for improving CPS in clinical practice. The primary data analyses will involve intent-to-treat principles, and mixed-effects models and logistic regression. DISCUSSION: If successful, the proposed study will provide Class I evidence for the efficacy of a theory-based, Internet-delivered behavioral intervention focusing on LPA for improving CPS and mitigating its negative impact on other outcomes in persons with MS.
