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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Many people with acquired brain injury (PwABI) and their family face long-term psychosocial problems and unmet needs. Currently, there are no structural and integrated health care services supporting life after brain injury. We evaluated Case Management (CM) for PWABI which aims to facilitate access to and integration of health care and social services for people with complex problems. Methods: One-group repeated measures study including 62 PwABI and 36 caregivers in the Netherlands. Assessments were conducted every six months for 18-24 months. Primary outcome was psychosocial well-being (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Secondary outcomes were self-efficacy, participation, life satisfaction, and needs for PwABI and caregivers; and caregiver burden. Results: Anxiety reduced significantly in both PwABI and their caregivers. Over time, PwABI reported significantly fewer unmet needs, but more participation restrictions. Caregivers reported significantly less caregiver burden and more self-efficacy over time. Discussion: CM seems promising for reducing unmet needs in PwABI and improving some psychosocial outcomes in PwABI and caregivers. Lifelong CM may however be necessary. A randomized controlled study is needed to confirm whether the positive outcomes are due to CM. Conclusion: This study warrants further research to establish the effectiveness of CM for PWABI.
