Unpacking how trust, communication and flow interact to sustain quality relationships between disabled people, family and support workers: a realist qualitative study.
Article in Disability and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeMany disabled people require support workers to complete personal care, daily tasks and participate in life roles. Due to the intimate nature of community disability support in domestic environments, understanding what facilitates positive relationships is paramount. We examined the intricate interplay of context and mechanisms that drive positive relationship outcomes for disabled people, their family members and support workers.
methodsA realist-informed, participatory methodology involving three participant groups: disabled people, family members, and disability support workers.
resultsSixteen participants participated in two workshops per group (5 disabled people, 5 family members, and 6 disability support workers). All three participant groups prioritised three key generative mechanism processes involved in positive relationship outcomes: (1) having clear communication, (2) building trust, and (3) developing a sense of flow. We describe how each mechanism manifested in a unique way for each group, and also how the activation of each mechanism was influenced by a dynamic resources/tensions balance specific to each group.
conclusionWe describe the interaction between three mechanism processes involved in triadic relationships between disabled people, family members, and support workers. Attention is now required to explore strategies to negotiate the resource/tension balance particular to each group.
