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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAdolescents with chronic physical health conditions (CHCs) use specific coping strategies to respond to condition-related stressors. However, most studies of CHC-related stress and coping focus on a single condition. The objective of this study was to measure CHC-related stress and identify associated coping strategies in adolescents with a variety of CHCs. A secondary objective was to examine the relationship between CHC-related stress, coping strategies, health-related quality of life, and perceived severity of chronic illness.

methodsTeens (

resultsTeens were most likely to use secondary control engagement coping and involuntary engagement to respond to CHC-related stressors. Teens in the two clusters differed on health-related quality of life but not coping strategies or perceived condition severity. CHC diagnosis category was associated with cluster membership.

conclusionsThis exploratory study highlighted relationships among quality of life, coping strategies, and CHC diagnosis category that should be explored in future studies. Improved understanding of CHC-related stress and coping strategies in teens with CHCs could have an impact on their quality of life and well-being.
