Patient participation from the perspective of staff members working in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
Article in Spinal cord, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
STUDY
designQualitative method, semi-structured interviews.
objectivesThe aims of this study were to explore the meaning of patient participation from the perspective of staff members working with spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation, and what they saw as requisites for and constraints to patient participation.
settingSwedish spinal injury unit.
methodsInterviews with 13 staff members at a spinal unit were conducted individually and analyzed by means of content analysis.
resultsOne category describing patient participation emerged from the interviews: Patient - a team member. Four categories were extracted as requisites: Communication; information and knowledge; routines; respecting the patient as a unique person; and an open climate. Three categories of constraints were identified: Understaffing and new staff members; patients' inability to grasp information; and structures and fragmented responsibilities.
conclusionsThe informants were unanimous in stating that the patient is an integral and natural member of the rehabilitation team. Recognizing the person with SCI as a team member acknowledges and endorses the patient as a person with capabilities to participate in his or her rehabilitation. The patient as a person also means that he or she has unique needs and preferences, which the staff members must accommodate. This is also fundamental in a person-centered approach. Therefore, the viewpoints of the informants may be useful for other settings to enhance person centeredness and patient participation.
