Using the Theoretical Domains Framework to identify strategies to support the implementation of the guidelines for the physiotherapy management of people with spinal cord injury: a qualitative study.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 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
STUDY
designQualitative design.
aimThe aim of the study was to (i) determine the perspectives of therapists and people with spinal cord injury (SCI) on our recently developed Australian and New Zealand Clinical Practice Guidelines for the physiotherapy management of people with SCI, and (ii) understand the barriers and facilitators to the rollout of the Guidelines and identify implementation strategies to support their uptake.
settingHospital and community SCI services, Australia.
methodsTwenty-one therapists and 10 people with SCI were interviewed one-on-one or within focus groups. The interviews captured perspectives of therapists and people with SCI on the Guidelines as well as barriers and facilitators to the rollout of the Guidelines. The interviews with therapists were guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). All interviews were transcribed and thematically coded. Barriers and facilitators were then linked to the COM-B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation - Behaviour) to identify implementation strategies.
resultsThe barriers to implementation of the Guidelines identified by therapists were lack of knowledge and skill, lack of resources and challenges associated with working within large organisations. Facilitators to the uptake of the Guidelines were providing education, skill training, Guideline champions, awareness, and two-way communication between patient and therapist. Fourteen implementation strategies were identified.
conclusionBoth therapists and people with SCI thought the Guidelines were a useful tool to improve the quality of care provided to people with SCI across various health settings. Facilitators identified in this study are being used to guide current implementation projects to enhance the uptake of the Guidelines.
