Feasibility of a group-based intervention to enhance health-related quality of life and physical activity in children and adolescents with chronic illness: a study protocol.
Article in Pilot and feasibility studies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06709248 (Feasibility of a Group-Based Intervention to Enhance Health-Related Quality of Life and Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents With Chronic Illness), 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
backgroundChronic or long-term illnesses in early years increase the risk of comorbidities such as mental disorders, social exclusion, and difficulties in forming relationships. In Bergen, Norway, the three-phased intervention Life Coping Program is established. This program is designed to support adolescents with chronic or long-term illnesses through tailored preparation, a hospital-based Life Coping Course, and structured follow-up aimed at empowering them to actively manage their health and adopt a more active lifestyle. This protocol paper describes a feasibility trial of the Life Coping Program, focused on improved health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and levels of physical activity. METHODS/
designThis study is based on the British Medical Research Council's (MRC) modified framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions. Feasibility and acceptability of the Life Coping Program will be evaluated in an uncontrolled open-label trial using quantitative measures. Sixty children and adolescents with chronic illness or severe medical conditions will be recruited along with one associated caregiver. Feasibility will be assessed by tracking attendance and participation in the different parts of the intervention. Acceptability of the intervention will be assessed by patient-reported questionnaires. HRQoL and levels of physical activity will be measured using the KidScreen-27 and Actigraph GT3X + monitor, respectively, at baseline and 1 and 6 months post-intervention. DISCUSSION: The study will explore the feasibility of an innovative treatment strategy targeting children and adolescents at risk of poor health-related outcomes across multiple dimensions. The findings will inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial.
