Codesigning a social prescribing pathway to address the social determinant of health concerns of children with cerebral palsy and their families in Australia: a protocol for a mixed-methods formative research study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionSocial determinants of health (SDH) are contributors to health inequities experienced by some children with cerebral palsy and pose barriers to families engaging with complex and fragmented healthcare systems. There is emerging evidence to support 'social prescribing' interventions that systematically identify SDH concerns and refer patients to non-medical social care support and services to address their needs. To date, social prescribing has not been trialled specifically for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy, in Australia. This study aims to codesign a social prescribing programme to address SDH concerns of children with cerebral palsy and their families who attend one of the three tertiary paediatric rehabilitation services in New South Wales, Australia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a qualitative multi-site study conducted at the three NSW paediatric hospitals' rehabilitation departments using a codesign approach. Children aged 12-18 years with cerebral palsy, parents/caregivers of children (aged 0-18 years) with cerebral palsy, and clinicians will be involved in all stages to codesign the social prescribing programme. The study will consist of three components: (1) 'what we need', (2) 'creating the pathways' and (3) 'finalising and sign off'. This project is overseen by two advisory groups: one group of young adults with cerebral palsy and one group of parents of young people with cerebral palsy. The study will be guided by the biopsychosocial ecological framework, and analysis will follow Braun and Clark's thematic approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol was approved by the human research ethics committee of the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network. This codesign study will inform a future pilot study of feasibility and acceptability, then if indicated, a pilot clinical trial of efficacy. We will collaborate with all project stakeholders to disseminate findings and undertake further research to build sustainable and scalable models of care.
