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

objectiveWe examined the associations of executive functioning and social determinants of health with medical self-management skills in transition-age adults (TAA) with pediatric-onset disabilities.

methodThis cross-sectional pilot study included 47 young adults between the ages of 18-28 and their informants (e.g., parents, partners, siblings). Participants were followed by pediatric rehabilitation clinics for acquired brain injury (ABI = 16), neuromuscular disorders (NMD = 22), or spina bifida (SB = 9). Informants completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions - Adult Version, from which we reported the General Executive Composite. To assess medical self-management, young adult participants completed the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ).

resultsUsing generalized linear regression with the TRAQ as the dependent measure, better informant-rated executive functioning skills were associated with more favorable ratings of healthcare self-management with a large effect size (β = -0.62, p < .001). With a small effect size, there was also a main effect of participant race and ethnicity (β = 0.27, p = .049). Marginalized identities, specifically identification as of Indigenous and Black races, were associated with poorer ratings of healthcare self-management skills.

conclusionsLower executive functioning skills and some marginalized identities are linked to poorer healthcare self-management in this sample of TAA with pediatric-onset disabilities. These findings highlight the value of neuropsychologists in identifying cognitive challenges and implementing targeted interventions in the context of social determinants of health.
