Influencers of participation in social roles and activities among women veterans with lower extremity amputations: an exploratory 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
purposeWomen military Veterans with lower extremity amputations are a growing subpopulation of Veterans. There is a paucity of exploration into factors influencing participation in meaningful social roles and activities within this population. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate influencers of participation among women Veterans with lower limb amputations. MATERIALS AND
methodsWomen Veterans participated in semi-structured internet-based video focus groups led by a clinician researcher. Participants were encouraged to describe their experiences around participating in meaningful social roles and activities, with specific consideration of known influencers of participation. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.
resultsEleven women Veterans with lower extremity amputations participated across three focus groups conducted between August 1 and September 30, 2021. Participants described many factors influencing their participation, including heat and sweat, body image, and footwear.
conclusionTo the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to qualitatively evaluate the experiences of women Veterans with limb loss in regard to their perceptions around participation. The results of this study echo the findings of other quantitative and qualitative studies including women Veterans, with a new lens on the construct of participation.
