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/

objectivesPhysical and mental health symptoms commonly affecting children are often under-addressed given the limited availability of pediatric behavioral healthcare. Training school providers (e.g., nurses, mental health professionals) to address these concerns is a promising strategy to explore, considering the unique level of accessibility afforded by school settings. While our earlier work augmented school providers' pain management skills, providers desired more comprehensive training and youth support tools. Our team of interdisciplinary academic researchers and community partners will bridge this gap by developing the PURSUIT (Preventing Use of Substances for the Underserved with Innovative Technology) provider training program and companion online self-management platform for youth and caregivers. This protocol paper describes our planned approach to developing, implementing, and evaluating the PURSUIT program.

methodsWe will draw from evidence-based cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, and mindfulness protocols to develop a comprehensive provider training program and interactive online self-management platform for youth and caregivers. Content areas will include core cognitive-behavioral strategies and specific skills for pediatric pain management, trauma-focused care, and substance use prevention. Innovative technological approaches, such as live and animated videos, will be used to promote user engagement. Academic and community partners will have roles in material co-development. Outcomes of this project will include the PURSUIT training program and self-management platform feasibility and acceptability (e.g., completion/engagement rates, quantitative/qualitative reports), as well as the impact of the training program on provider knowledge and the impact of the self-management platform on youth/caregiver outcomes.

conclusionsInterdisciplinary collaboration and community engagement will be critical to developing and evaluating a provider training program and youth/caregiver self-management platform.
