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

Objective: To use the updated Rehabilitation Researchers Learning Health Systems (LHS) Needs Assessment Survey for conducting a needs assessment and identify current knowledge and interest in LHS competencies among rehabilitation professionals. Design: The anonymous, cross-sectional online survey included 70 competency items related to LHS research core competencies across 8 domains. Setting: The respondents were recruited through the LHS Rehabilitation Research Network partners. Participants: There were 637 respondents (N=637) who indicated interest and knowledge in LHS research competency items and completed at least 1 competency item or 1 demographic question. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Rehabilitation Researchers Learning Health Systems Needs Assessment Survey. Results: The most common professions reported among respondents were physical therapy (24.5%), research (21.6%), and behavioral health (17.6%). The research questions and standards domain had the highest average proportion of respondents indicating "a lot" of interest (67.6%). The systems science domain had the highest average proportion of respondents indicating "none" or "some" knowledge (89%). Competency items that were of high interest and low knowledge were from the systems science, research methods and engagement, leadership, and research management, improvement and implementation, health and health care equity and justice, research questions and standards, and informatics domains. Conclusions: In this updated needs assessment survey of LHS competencies among the rehabilitation community, we found that there was continued high interest across LHS domains, high current interest in health and health care equity and justice domain topics, and limited knowledge related to systems science domain competency items. The results of the survey identified new directions for learning opportunities as well as areas for continued engagement to work toward achieving proficiency in LHS competencies among rehabilitation researchers.
