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

objectiveThis paper introduces the "360° Model of Research", a novel framework designed to prioritize functioning as a primary health indicator, particularly for individuals living with health conditions. The goal is to promote this model as a comprehensive, person-centred, and interdisciplinary approach to health research, moving beyond the traditional siloed and disease-based methodologies.

methodsThe paper is conceptual, integrating existing scientific literature and theoretical frameworks to build the 360° Model. It draws on interdisciplinary perspectives from rehabilitation, social sciences, health services research, and ethics, among others, to create a unified health science focused on optimizing functioning.

resultsThe 360° Model emphasizes functioning as a key health indicator, combining biological health with lived experience. The Model provides a reference framework for data collection, but does not presume any particular explanatory theory about how lived experience is created or interpreted by the individual. It has been successfully applied in the Swiss Spinal Cord Injury Cohort Study (SwiSCI), demonstrating its value in addressing the comprehensive needs of individuals with spinal cord injury through interdisciplinary collaboration and a learning health system theory.

conclusionThe 360° Model offers a transformative approach, highlighting the importance of functioning in health research. It provides a robust foundation for a new interdisciplinary field of Human Functioning Sciences, aimed at optimizing health and well-being across diverse populations.
