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

backgroundYouth feel uninformed in stem cell transplant and cellular therapy (SCTCT) decisions and those as young as 8 years of age want to be included in discussions. Decision support interventions for youth are few, and interventions targeting the youth-family interaction warrant attention.

aimsThe objective was to develop a family intervention to increase youth involvement in treatment decision-making (TDM) about SCTCT. A secondary objective was to obtain preliminary data on perceived usability (acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness) of the intervention.

methodsWe used an iterative development process that included focus groups and individual interviews with an advisory panel and three groups: youth (8-17 years of age) and their parents; SCTCT providers; and experts in health communication and bioethics. Participants reviewed and discussed draft intervention materials, then completed a usability survey. Qualitative data were examined using content analysis and descriptive statistics summarized the quantitative data.

resultsThirty-three participants provided feedback on content, design, delivery, perceived helpfulness, goals, and possible unintended harms. We made improvements to the final content, design, and delivery based on their suggestions. For example, we incorporated preferred terms and wording throughout, more color and illustrations, and multiple modes of delivery (e.g., paper and digital). The intervention was viewed as acceptable, feasible, and appropriate for the SCTCT decision context.

conclusionA family intervention called Let's Get REAL (Ready to Engage And Learn) about SCTCT was developed with experts and intended end-users. The intervention booklet is ready for real-time testing by youth and families referred for SCTCT.
