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.

Abstract

Pediatric traumatic injury (PTI) has substantial physical and emotional health impacts, sometimes resulting in hospitalization and/or the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression in children. Caregivers are a key source of support for children following PTI; however, many caregivers experience their own distress and psychological reactions following injury. The CAARE (Caregivers' Aid to Accelerate Recovery after pediatric Emergencies) model is a technology-assisted, stepped care intervention to support the emotional and behavioral recovery of preadolescent children hospitalized after PTI and their caregivers. The CAARE model seeks to provide a systematic, evidence-based screening and intervention procedure that is feasible to implement within pediatric trauma centers. This protocol paper describes a study to evaluate the effectiveness of the CAARE model in improving quality of life, clinical and functional outcomes, and treatment engagement in children and their caregivers following PTI. We also aim to explore potential inequities regarding race, ethnicity, and injury type. This hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial design allows for the examination of contextual factors related to implementation of CAARE. This paper includes a description of the intervention and control conditions, participant selection and recruitment procedures, assessment measures, and planned quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Potential implications and future directions are discussed. This study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04579198).
