What it does not show
This is a protocol paper. It contains no data on patient outcomes, feasibility, or intervention effectiveness. The pilot study has not been conducted, so it is unknown whether the intervention will be accepted by patients or if the recruitment targets will be met. The paper reports no participant demographics, baseline characteristics, or dropout rates because no participants have been enrolled.
Declared interests
The text does not report funding sources or conflicts of interest declarations.
The easy way to misread this
Do not assume this intervention has been tested or shown to work. The paper only describes the plan for a future pilot study, and no patients have received the treatment or reported outcomes.
