Patients' experiences with goal setting during initial rehabilitation after newly acquired spinal cord injury: A pilot qualitative interview study.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo explore patients' experiences with goal setting during initial rehabilitation after newly acquired spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D).
designQualitative design with semi-structured interviews and purposively sampled participants. Interviews were transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analyzed for qualitative content analysis using the Mayring method.
settingSpecialized acute care and rehabilitation center for SCI/D-patients.

resultsTen participants were interviewed in the post-acute phase after a newly acquired SCI/D. Participants described individual patient characteristics as well as organizational elements influencing their experience with goal setting. Organizational elements comprised structural elements (e.g. ward rounds, rehabilitation meetings, etc.) and interaction with and among the interprofessional teams. Perspectives from various health care professionals (HCPs) were perceived as increasing adequate goal setting and motivation. Furthermore, the participants described their own involvement and motivation as crucial for goal achievement. The main point of the critique was the standardization of the goal setting process. Interviewees would have preferred individualized goal setting embedded in a clearly foreseeable rehabilitation plan.
conclusionOrganization and collaboration with and among the HCPs should be geared towards identifying specific patient needs during the course of rehabilitation and deriving individually tailored goals from them. Communication plays an important role in the individual goal setting.
