What does collaborative healthcare for people with musculoskeletal-related conditions look like? A scoping review.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
backgroundManaging musculoskeletal-related conditions usually benefits from involving patients in their care. Collaborative approaches support better health outcomes and enable individuals to take a more active role. However, the musculoskeletal literature remains unclear on how collaboration is reported and measured, as well as the factors that facilitate or inhibit it.
objectivesSummarise the components of the King's Fund shared responsibility for health framework published in the musculoskeletal-related literature, and map the barriers, facilitators, and outcome measures of these components.
designScoping review.
methodFive electronic databases were searched. Two independent reviewers screened titles and abstracts followed by full texts to determine eligibility. Data relevant to the objective of the review were extracted independently by the lead author and ranked by frequency count.
resultsThe search returned 4,101 items, with 140 eligible for inclusion. The most frequently reported components of collaborative healthcare were self-management, education, and shared decision-making. Collaborative approaches including peer support and education, working with communities, designing services in partnership, personal budgets, patient leaders, and involving family/carers were modestly reported. Seventeen barriers and thirty-six facilitators to collaborative healthcare were identified and mapped to patient, clinician, and system-level organisational factors, with seventy-three outcome measures across eight constructs reported.
conclusionsThe current musculoskeletal literature sparsely covers the range of collaborative approaches outlined by the King's fund shared responsibility for health framework. More research is required to support the implementation and measurement of collaborative approaches to healthcare when managing musculoskeletal-related conditions. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
