Integrating the Memory Support Intervention into the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C): can improving memory for treatment in midlife and older adults improve patient outcomes? Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05986604 (NIA_Improving Sleep and Circadian Functioning, Daytime Functioning, and Well-being for Midlife and Older Adults by Improving Patient Memory for a Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Treatment), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundPoor memory for treatment is associated with poorer treatment adherence and poorer patient outcomes. The memory support intervention (MSI) was developed to improve patient memory for treatment with the goal of improving patient outcomes. The aim of this study protocol is to conduct a confirmatory efficacy trial to test whether a new, streamlined, and potent version of the MSI improves outcomes for midlife and older adults. This streamlined MSI is comprised of constructive memory supports that will be applied to a broader range of treatment content. The platform for this study is the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C). We will focus on midlife and older adults who are low income and experiencing mobility impairments.
methodsParticipants (N = 178) will be randomly allocated to TranS-C + MSI or TranS-C alone. Both intervention arms include eight 50-min weekly sessions. Assessments will be conducted at pre-treatment, post-treatment, 6-, and 12-month follow-up (6FU and 12FU). Aim 1 will compare the effects of TranS-C + MSI versus TranS-C alone on sleep and circadian functioning, daytime functioning, well-being, and patient memory. Aim 2 will test whether patient memory for treatment mediates the relationship between treatment condition and patient outcomes. Aim 3 will evaluate if previously reported poor treatment response subgroups will moderate the relationship between treatment condition and (a) patient memory for treatment and (b) treatment outcome. Exploratory analyses will compare treatment condition on (a) patient adherence, patient-rated treatment credibility, and patient utilization of treatment contents, and (b) provider-rated acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. DISCUSSION: This study has the potential to provide evidence for (a) the efficacy of a new simplified version of the MSI for maintaining health, well-being, and functioning, (b) the wider application of the MSI for midlife and older adults and to the treatment of sleep and circadian problems, and (c) the efficacy of the MSI for sub-groups who are likely to benefit from the intervention.
