Characteristics of studies

Characteristics of included studies [ordered by study ID]

Thorpe 1962

Methods

Allocation: randomised, no further details.
Blindness: unclear, not stated.
Duration: six week cross over trial ‐ divided into three arms of two week sessions*
Raters: ward sisters used as raters.

Participants

Diagnosis: schizophrenia (Arieti 1955 2nd or 3rd stage).
N=25.
Age: mean ˜ 43 years, range 36 to 50 years.
Sex: all female.
Setting: hospital.
History: chronic, non‐paranoid, mean time in hospital ˜ 20 years, half of the participants had pre‐frontal leucotomomy not less than four years previously.

Interventions

1. Monetary reward: One hour session in the morning assembling plastic dolls, task required considerable manual dexterity, inserting two arms and two legs into appropriate sockets of doll's body. Session repeated for an hour in the afternoon. Paid 3 pence/12 dolls assembled. N=10.

2. No monetary reward: Same work assembling dolls with no monetary reward. N=15.

Outcomes

Target behaviour: average number of dolls produced per day.**
Leaving the study early***

Notes

* Only data from first two week arm of trial used as data after first cross‐over prone to bias.
** All data retrieved from graphs alone.
*** Assumed no loss

Risk of bias

Bias

Authors' judgement

Support for judgement

Adequate sequence generation?

Unclear risk

No description: "the twenty‐five patients were split into five groups of five by a random‐selection technique".

Allocation concealment?

Unclear risk

No description: "these groups were numbered one to five and patients within each group worked together in a small circle".

Blinding?
All outcomes

Low risk

Not practical to blind participants to treatment, unclear if raters blind to allocation: "patients in groups 1 and 4 were informed that they would be working for money and paid according to how many dolls they were able to assemble as a group. Patients in groups 1,2, and 5 were informed that they would be assembling dolls but would not receive any payment".

Incomplete outcome data addressed?
All outcomes

Unclear risk

No description.

Free of selective reporting?

Low risk

All outcomes reported.

Free of other bias?

Low risk

No description of author affiliations given, but thought other biases unlikely.

Characteristics of excluded studies [ordered by study ID]

Table 1. Suggested design of study

Methods

Allocation: randomised, clearly described.
Design: cross‐over.*
Duration: 3 months before first cross‐over.

Participants

Diagnosis: schizophrenia.
N=300.**
Age: any.
Sex: men and women.
History: stable, perhaps with prominent negative symptoms, perhaps attending day units.

Interventions

1. Additional funds: not given every day but intermittently and randomly*** as reward for countering person‐specific negative symptom. N=150.

2. No additional funds. N=150.

Outcomes

Target symptoms: improved/not improved to important extent.
Satisfaction.
Quality of life.
Functioning.

Notes

* in suggesting cross‐over design we are attempting to ensure that everyone is assured of reward.
** study size to clearly illustrate 20% difference between groups in binary outcome.
*** strong positive reinforcer

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval;

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.
