Are AudioviSual maTERials disseminated via sOcIal meDia effective to improve evidence-based rehabilitation implementation for physiotherapists (ASTEROID trial)? A feasibility study.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveThe present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an educational program disseminated via social media to improve the scientific and technical knowledge of physiotherapists.
resultsIn this single-group interventional feasibility study, practicing physiotherapists participated in a 10-week Instagram-based program, which included 20 infographics posted twice weekly. Feasibility was evaluated using the RE-AIM framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance). After the intervention, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather feedback on participant experiences. Of the 30 physiotherapists recruited, 15 initiated the program, and 8 (53%) completed it. No significant differences were observed between pre- and post-program scores on effectiveness outcomes related to perceptions, utilization, and understanding of scientific information for clinical practice. While 63% of participants reported that the program helped them overcome barriers to EBP, overall perceptions and behaviors showed minimal change. Nonetheless, all participants recognized a positive impact on their clinical practice, with 50% reporting that they applied program content to their work. Although 63% indicated they would maintain their approach to studying technical content, all participants affirmed their intention to use resources that facilitate knowledge acquisition. Feedback from interviews indicated positive attitudes towards social media-based educational programs.
