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

The optimal approach to managing motor neurone disease (MND) is through integrated, person-centred care (PCC), complemented by access to specialised MND multidisciplinary clinics (MDCs). However, in Australia, MND care is fragmented and uncoordinated.

objectivesTo evaluate participant experiences of the implementation of a new regional MND MDC in New South Wales, Australia, and explore factors influencing its implementation.

methodsA qualitative evaluation was conducted. We used semi-structured interviews with people living with MND (plwMND) (

resultsThe MND MDC was found to be appropriate and acceptable for providing equitable access to PCC MND care that was '

conclusionsThe commitment to providing equitable access to an MND MDC in a regional area is crucial to optimise care for plwMND and their families. However, overcoming complex organisational boundaries, creating local solutions, and building strong partnerships are key challenges to securing ongoing financial support and local health district 'buy-in' to support sustainability.
