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: Pediatric traumatic injury (PTI) is a leading cause of hospitalization and long-term morbidity among U.S. youth, with approximately 30% developing posttraumatic stress or depression. Despite clear mandates from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) for behavioral health screening and referral, few pediatric trauma centers have the infrastructure to deliver coordinated mental health care. The Trauma Resilience and Recovery Program (TRRP) is a stepped-care, technology-enhanced model designed to promote psychological recovery following injury. This study evaluates the effectiveness of TRRP and identifies factors influencing its integration within pediatric trauma settings. Chods: This multi-site, Type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial will recruit 300 adolescents (ages 12-17) hospitalized for traumatic injury and their caregivers across three pediatric trauma centers. Participants are randomized to TRRP or Enhanced Usual Care (EUC). TRRP includes bedside psychoeducation, risk screening, a brief coping skills intervention, automated text-based symptom monitoring, 30-day follow-up screening, and referral to evidence-based mental health care as needed. Primary outcomes (PTSD, depression, quality of life) are assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Qualitative interviews with families and trauma personnel, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), will explore barriers and facilitators to implementation. Quantitative data will be analyzed using mixed-effects models; qualitative data will undergo thematic analysis. Conclusions: This study will provide critical evidence on the clinical effectiveness and real-world integration of TRRP for adolescent trauma survivors. Findings will inform a scalable roadmap for embedding evidence-based behavioral health care into pediatric trauma systems to improve recovery and long-term well-being.Clinicaltrials.gov idNCT05086757.
