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

backgroundStructured aftercare programs are implemented to facilitate the transition from rehabilitation centers to patients' home environments. Taking the program GeRas as an example, this paper aims to evaluate the influence of patient-related factors on the implementation of the geriatric aftercare program GeRas from patients' and providers' perspectives.

methodsTo capture patients' and providers' perspectives, qualitative interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. The analysis was inductive-deductive and based on the thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke and guided by Domain IV of the CFIR.

results16 participants (10 patients, 4 providers, 2 family members) were interviewed from May 2023 to November 2023. Patient-related factors were perceived as an important aspect during the implementation of the GeRas program. The results were allocated to the four Constructs of Domain IV of the CFIR (Motivation, Opportunity, Capability, Needs). Especially patients' intrinsic motivation, social environment, and physical capabilities seemed to be crucial for successful implementation. While extrinsic motivation can mitigate missing personal capabilities, it cannot replace the presence of intrinsic motivation and capabilities. The results showed that patient-related factors are interlinked. DISCUSSION/

conclusionThe relevance of patient-related factors during the implementation of the GeRas program shows that such programs must consider these factors during intervention planning.
