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

aimTo explore how adolescents and young adults with neuromotor disabilities perceive shared digital health portals as tools to support self-management of their rehabilitation and integrated care.

methodWe conducted a descriptive-interpretive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 24 participants aged 11 to 23 years undergoing rehabilitation. Participants were recruited nationally through patient and family associations and rehabilitation networks, using purposive maximum variation sampling. An interdisciplinary team analysed the data using a hybrid inductive-deductive thematic approach grounded in self-determination theory.

resultsParticipants viewed portals as enablers of integrated rehabilitation, aligning interventions across health care, home, and school according to individual needs. Features supporting competence, such as progress tracking and tailored resources, were valued for balancing rehabilitation with daily life. To foster autonomy, participants emphasized involvement in rehabilitation decisions, personalized feedback, control over information sharing, and inclusive features. Portals were also seen as a means to strengthen professionals' understanding and enhance connections with families and peers. Priorities included accessibility, adaptable designs, and customizable privacy settings. Concerns involved guilt-inducing feedback, excessive monitoring, and reduced in-person interactions.

interpretationYoung people with disabilities see shared portals as valuable for supporting self-determination and integrated care. Co-designing flexible, inclusive, and trustworthy tools with young people may strengthen coordinated, empowering rehabilitation experiences.
