Documenting Compliance and Symptom Reactivity for Ambulatory Assessment Methodology Following Concussion in Adolescents and Young Adults: Feasibility of the Mobile Neurocognitive Health (MNCH) Project.
Article in The Journal of head trauma rehabilitation. 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
objectiveEvaluate compliance, symptom reactivity, and acceptability/experience ratings for an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol involving ultra-brief ambulatory cognitive assessments in adolescent and young adult patients with concussion.
settingOutpatient concussion clinic.
participants116 patients aged 13 to 25 years with concussion.
designProspective research design was used to examine compliance, symptom reactivity, and acceptability/experience for the Mobile Neurocognitive Health Project (MNCH); an EMA study of environmental exposures, symptoms, objective cognitive functioning, and symptom reactivity involving 4, daily EMA surveys (7:30 am , 10:30 am , 3:00 pm , 8:00 pm ) for a period of 7 days following concussion. Overall compliance rates, symptom reactivity scores, and participant acceptability/experience ratings were described. A series of non-parametric Friedman Tests with post-hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to examine differences in compliance and reactivity related to time of day and over the course of the protocol (first 3 days [Early Week] vs last 4 days [Late Week]). MAIN MEASURES: Compliance rates, symptom reactivity scores, participant experience/acceptability.
resultsOverall median compliance was 71%, and there were significantly fewer 7:30 am surveys completed compared to the 10:30 am ( Z = -4 .88, P ≤ .001), 3:00 pm ( Z = -4 .13, P ≤ .001), and 8:00 pm ( Z = -4 .68, P ≤ .001) surveys. Compliance for Early Week surveys were significantly higher than Late Week ( Z = -2 .16, P = .009). The median symptom reactivity score was 34.39 out of 100 and was significantly higher for Early Week compared to Late Week ( Z = -4 .59, P ≤ .001). Ninety-nine percent (89/90) of the sample agreed that the app was easy to use, and 18% (16/90) indicated that the app interfered with their daily life.
conclusionAdolescents and young adults with concussion were compliant with the MNCH EMA protocol. Symptom reactivity to the protocol was low and the majority of participants reported that the app and protocol were acceptable. These findings support further investigation into applications of EMA for use in concussion studies.
