ENGAGE-TBI: adaptation of a community-based intervention to improve social participation after brain injury.
Article in Brain injury, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSocial isolation is prevalent after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and has negative implications for health and well-being. Interventions targeting social participation show promise for reducing social isolation. We adapted a social participation intervention, ENGAGE, to meet the needs of people with TBI. ENGAGE relies on social learning and guided problem-solving to achieve social participation goals.
methodsThis study was conducted in two phases. First, we conducted focus groups with 12 participants with TBI to inform adaptations. We then tested the adapted protocol (
resultsIntervention adaptations included simplified processes for developing goals and plans, simplified workbook materials, greater time for reflection on lessons learned, and expanded peer mentorship. ENGAGE-TBI resulted in high satisfaction for 80% of participants and high engagement in intervention for 100% of participants. Attendance and retention benchmarks were achieved. Improvements in social participation exceeded the minimal clinically important difference on all measures.
conclusionsThe promising preliminary data support further investigation into the feasibility and effects of ENGAGE-TBI.
