Involving people with lived experiences in the study of a behavioral stress-recovery e-intervention for myocardial infarction patients younger than 55 with cardiac distress: a study protocol.
Review in Research involvement and engagement, 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
backgroundPublic and patient involvement and engagement (PPIE) is increasingly valued for improving the quality and relevance of health research. Patient research partners (PRPs) offer lived experience of a previous myocardial infarction and cardiac distress that can enhance study design and implementation. This protocol describes one out of four studies in a larger project aiming to adapt and evaluate a stress recovery intervention for adults (aged < 55) after myocardial infarction with cardiac distress.
objectiveThe primary aim of this study is to explore PRPs' perceived impact on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the internet-delivered behavioral stress recovery intervention Balance in Everyday Life (iBEL), and to describe the process of their involvement in research activities. This study employs a PPIE approach to systematically involve PRP: s throughout all phases of the research project.
methodsFive to eight PRPs with lived experiences of a previous myocardial infarction and cardiac distress will participate in a series of structured online workshops across all phases of the project. They provide feedback on intervention materials and study procedures. Data are collected using impact logs, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires, and will be analyzed using thematic analysis. DISCUSSION: This study is expected to generate insights into how sustained PRP involvement can be integrated into behavioral intervention research. It will highlight how PRPs influence decision-making processes in real time, and how this aligns with scientific and practical considerations.
conclusionThe present study provides insights into the perceived impact of PRPs on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the iBEL intervention, highlighting both effective aspects and challenges of patient involvement, and offering guidance for integrating PRP input in behavioral intervention research.
