A matrix tool to foster patient engagement in children, adolescents and young adults: report from a multistakeholder workshop.
Article in Research involvement and engagement, 2024. 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
backgroundPatient engagement has become increasingly important in drug development, yet structured guidance to engage children (2-11 years old), adolescents (12-17 years old), and young adults (18-24 years old) is lacking. This study aims to create a matrix tool to foster paediatric patient engagement in drug development by hosting a multistakeholder workshop.
methodsA matrix tool was co-developed by the study team and the expert group to provide a framework for paediatric patient engagement across drug development stages. The matrix tool's concept was evaluated using a Delphi-based approach. A pre-workshop questionnaire was sent to 55 experts, followed by an online multistakeholder workshop with 38 participants. A post-workshop questionnaire was redistributed to the initial participants refine the matrix tool further.
resultsThe pre-workshop questionnaire (34 respondents) confirmed the need for a co-developed matrix tool, with all statements reaching consensus (cut-off 70% consensus). The workshop (38 participants) revealed strong agreement (92%) on the necessity of such a matrix tool. Participants emphasized the importance of including both chronic and acute diseases, considering patient trial experience, involving families and patient organizations, and aligning age group categories with regulations. The post-workshop questionnaire (18 respondents) showed 89% agreement on involving children, adolescents, and young adults in the matrix tool's co-development. However, opinions varied on the appropriate minimum age for engagement, ranging from 2 to 17 years.
conclusionsThis study presents the initial steps towards developing a matrix tool to enhance paediatric patient engagement in drug development. The multistakeholder approach provided valuable insights into the matrix tool's structure and content. While further validation and refinement are needed, particularly regarding practical implementation and global applicability, this initiative lays the groundwork for more effective and inclusive paediatric drug development processes. Future research should focus on validating the matrix tool across different age groups and disease contexts, incorporating real life experiences, and addressing cultural and linguistic considerations.
