Development of a practical guideline for person centred goal setting in geriatric rehabilitation: a participatory action research.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo improve goal setting in Geriatric Rehabilitation (GR), by developing an evidence-based practical guideline for patient-centred goal setting.
methodsParticipatory action research (PAR) in a cyclical process, with GR professionals as co-researchers. Each cycle consisted of five phases: problem analysis, literature review, development, practical experience, feedback & evaluation. The evaluation was based on video recordings of goal setting conversations, and on oral and written feedback of the GR professionals who tested the guideline.
resultsIn two PAR-cycles the guideline was developed, consisting of eight recommendations for setting and using goals, and of practical advices elaborating three of the recommendations, concerning conversational skills specific for goal setting conversations. After the second cycle the research team concluded that the guideline was feasible in daily practice and effective when used consciously.
conclusionIn this study, a practical guideline for setting and using goals in GR was developed. GR teams can improve their patient centred working with goals by discussing the recommendations in their team and choosing the recommendations to work on. This can be supported by the development of an interdisciplinary training. The effect on quality of care should be subject to further investigation.
