Patient perspective and research prioritization in rehabilitation after stroke - results from an online survey in Germany.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundPeople with lived experience (pwle) of stroke including survivors and informal caregivers offer critical insights into research needs. This study aimed to identify stroke rehabilitation research priorities in Germany from the perspective of pwle, and to explore variation by age, sex, and time since stroke. PATIENTS AND
methodsA cross-sectional, web-based survey was conducted nationwide in Germany. The survey included closed- and open-ended questions and was distributed via stroke support organizations, clinical partners, and previous study networks. Responses were analyzed descriptively.
resultsA total of 470 individuals responded, including 305 stroke survivors and 133 informal caregivers. The most frequently selected research priorities were cognition and mobility. Participants aged ≤ 65 years emphasized cognition, while older participants more often prioritized mobility and speech. Women more frequently selected cognition, and men mobility. Participants with longer time since stroke emphasized secondary prevention. Open-text responses identified additional priorities, including social participation, sexuality, and the need for individualized therapy approaches. A small subgroup of caregivers of pediatric stroke survivors prioritized cognition, participation, and self-care. Overall, 75% of respondents expressed interest to be engaged in future research.
conclusionsCognition and mobility were selected as key research priorities, with meaningful variation across demographic and clinical subgroups. These findings support the inclusion of diverse pwle perspectives in shaping national stroke research agendas and underscore the importance of tailoring rehabilitation research to stakeholder-identified needs. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
