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

introductionThis paper reports on the first two phases of a three-phase project to develop and evaluate an "integrated" iteration of ENabling VISions And Growing Expectations (ENVISAGE). ENVISAGE is a validated online 5-week program grounded in strengths-based and family-centred approaches to child and family development in the context of neurodevelopmental disability. The two phases included (i) partnership formation and collaborative adaptation of the ENVISAGE programs for families (ENVISAGE-Families) and for service providers (ENVISAGE-SP) to create an "integrated" approach; and (ii) conduction of a feasibility study.

methodsENVISAGE-Integrated was co-developed through an iterative process of revising and combining the original ENVISAGE programs (for families and for service providers). The Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modification-Expanded (FRAME) was used to report modifications. The feasibility study included 12 participants (7 service providers and 5 parents) from a children's treatment centre. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire and surveys after each workshop, including open-ended and 5-point Likert-scaled questions about their experiences of the program. All data were analyzed descriptively.

resultsProgram modifications were undertaken to ensure relevance to both service providers and parents and to preserve the core ENVISAGE concepts. Key modifications included (i) incorporating weekly icebreaker activities and (ii) tailoring current and creating additional scenarios to prompt discussion and apply concepts. Participants found the integrated format was valuable, meaningful, and relevant. Challenges included recruiting participants and scheduling synchronous group discussions.

conclusionParticipants' feedback informed two program adaptations: (i) allotting more time to apply concepts to scenarios during group discussions and (ii) supporting the use of the platform's discussion board. The findings from the feasibility study justify the ongoing development and evaluation of program outcomes on both service providers and parents.
