Specific, Measurable, Action-Oriented, Realistic, and Timed Goals and the Personal Health Inventory in a Wellness Group for Veterans With GWI.
Trial report in Medical care, 2024. 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
backgroundInterventions based on the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA) Whole Health (WH) initiative may be beneficial for veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI) through specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and timed (SMART) goal setting and monitoring of perceived goal attainment with the Personal Health Inventory (PHI).
objectivesThis secondary analysis of 2 randomized controlled trials focused on (1) categorizing SMART goals set during a wellness intervention based on the VHA's WH approach to identify goals most relevant for veterans with GWI and chronic pain and (2) descriptively examining the PHI over a course of treatment to assess its preliminary sensitivity to change. Also, changes in PHI for those who engaged in the intervention in-person versus remotely were compared. SUBJECTS: Participants were 49 veterans with GWI and chronic pain who received a 12-week, 24-session group wellness intervention delivered in-person or remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
resultsSMART goal themes mapped onto the 8 areas of self-care presented in the WH program's circle of health with high categorical adherence. Most participants set goals in categories for working the body, food and drink, and personal development. The wellness intervention was related to improvements in perceived goal attainment as measured by the PHI in both in-person and remote participants, which indicates that the PHI may be sensitive to change over time.
conclusionsThese preliminary findings set the stage for future research on wellness interventions for veterans with GWI and chronic pain and the measurement of whole-person outcomes.
