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

LGBTQ+ teens face elevated risk for dating violence and alcohol use, but few efficacious programs exist to address these risks. The Healthy Families Bright Futures (HFBF) program is a recently developed group online dating violence and alcohol use prevention program for LGBTQ+ teens and their caregivers. The HFBF program includes evidence-based prevention strategies, as well as focuses on increasing community and pride in one's identity among teens and increasing caregiver support and advocacy for their teens. The current study was an initial open pilot of the program to evaluate HFBF's acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility among six LGBTQ+ teen- parent dyads who completed the program over seven weekly group sessions. Quantitative surveys were utilized to assess session and overall program acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility, as well as program satisfaction, working alliance, and group cohesion. Post-program interviews were utilized to obtain in-depth information about program strengths, benefits, and areas for improvement. Overall, post-session and post-program ratings of acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, satisfaction, working alliance, and group cohesion were high, with all mean ratings significantly higher than the scale midpoint. In post-program interviews, teens and parents noted several program benefits including relationship improvement, learning skills related to emotion regulation and responding to risky situations among teens, and an increased commitment to advocate for their teens among parents. Thus, results supported the HFBF's program initial acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility, and justified a future evaluation of the program via a pilot randomized controlled trial.
