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: Children with conduct problems often present with a range of complex needs and many factors have the potential to complicate the delivery of evidence-based interventions for conduct problems. Little, however, is known about how to optimise the delivery of such interventions for complex cases, and there has been a lack of consensus regarding the features that reflect case complexity in treating child conduct problems. The aims of this study were to examine practitioner perceptions of the factors that contribute to case complexity in child conduct problems, and perceptions of the therapist competencies necessitated by distinct features of case complexity when delivering these interventions. Methods: Practitioners ( Results: Experts reached consensus on a model comprising seven distinct drivers of case complexity among children with conduct problems, spanning child-related factors, caregiver-related factors, and broader ecological factors. Consensus was also reached regarding 16 therapist competencies of key importance to distinct drivers of case complexity, thereby validating the conceptualisation of these drivers. Conclusions: These findings represent a novel consensus-based practitioner perspective on the complex needs of children with conduct problems, and offer researchers and practitioners a common language for communicating information about case complexity. This perspective has the potential to inform clinical research, practice, and training, to better meet these complex client needs.
