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

backgroundAttempts at measuring quality of rehabilitation care are hampered by a gap in knowledge translation of evidence-based approaches and lack of consensus on best practices. However, adoption of evidence-based best practices is needed to minimize variations and improve quality of care. Therefore, the objective of this project was to describe a process for assessing the quality of evidence of clinical practices in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitative care.

methodsA multidisciplinary team of clinicians developed discipline-specific clinical questions using the Population, Intervention, Control, Outcome process. A systematic review of the literature was conducted for each question using Pubmed, CINAHL, PsychInfo, and Allied Health Evidence databases. Team members assessed the quality, level, and applicability of evidence utilizing a modified Oxford scale, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Methods Guide, and a modified version of the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation scale.

resultsDraft recommendations for best-practice were formulated and shared with a Delphi panel of clinical representatives and stakeholders to obtain consensus.

conclusionEvidence-based practice guidelines are essential to improve the quality of TBI rehabilitation care. By using a modified quality of evidence assessment tool, we established a process to gain consensus on practice recommendations for individuals with TBI undergoing rehabilitation.
