Article in Health science reports, 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
Background: When designing appropriate rehabilitation programs after a shoulder replacement, it is critical to consider the multitude of factors that can influence a patient's participation. Therefore, this study aims to quantitively understand the factors that affect access and participation to physiotherapy services after a shoulder replacement in older adults. Methods: Our research team created an online of 58 questions, focusing on personal characteristics, geographic accessibility, socioeconomic status, preferences for care, social support, and cultural beliefs to understand potential barriers and facilitators to accessing services. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was analyzed through quantitative descriptive statistics and interpretive descriptive methodology. Data was stratified by gender. Data collection took place in 2020-2022. Results: A total of 51 (53% women) people participated in this survey; with the average age of 64.6 (9.4) years old. Gender heavily influenced patients' preferences on accessing care and physiotherapy services. Social factors, economic factors and personal factors emerged as potential barriers to participation in physiotherapy for women. Patient expectations differed by gender, as women prioritize return to daily activities (93%), whereas men prioritized sport/recreational activities (85%). Finally, preferences for delivery of physiotherapy differed based on gender, as men prefer in person (77%) and women prefer virtual. Conclusion: This survey was able to investigate trends that influence participation to rehabilitation after a shoulder replacement, both quantitatively and qualitatively. This study is a starting point for future research to explore how factors such as gender roles and social expectations may affect individuals' participation in rehabilitation.
