Engaging Adolescents With Chronic Illness in Patient-Education: The Adolescent's Perception.

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
rationaleMusculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are a leading cause of global disability, yet MSK physical examination remains a well-documented gap in medical education. Learners frequently report low confidence in performing these exams. Medical education programmes have addressed this by engaging adult patient educators with lived experience, an approach that has been shown to improve clinical skills. However, little is known about engaging adolescents as patient educators for the MSK exam, despite arthritis being a common chronic condition in this age group. As adolescents are at a unique developmental stage, their perspectives can help medical learners develop age-appropriate, patient-centred care. Exploring how adolescents themselves perceive this role is essential to designing effective educational programmes. This study represents an important first step in informing the development of a future patient-educator programme involving adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). AIMS AND
objectivesThis study explored the perceptions of adolescents (13-18 years) with JIA about their potential involvement as patient-educators of the MSK exam.
methodWe conducted 19 semi-structured interviews at two Canadian paediatric centres and analysed transcripts using thematic content analysis.
resultsResults showed that adolescents were generally enthusiastic about patient education and recognised the value of lived experience in training medical learners.
conclusionUnderstanding adolescents' perceptions is key to developing future medical education programmes that meaningfully integrate their experiences.
