The Cerebral Palsy Link Worker (CP LINK) study: Protocol for a feasibility study with integrated process evaluation.
Article in PloS one, 2026. 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
backgroundCerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong physical disability in the UK and is linked to multiple social, psychological and health inequalities which are often amplified as this group ages. Most middle-aged and older people with CP are supported in their community by General Practitioners (GPs) and complain of disjointed and non-specialised care from people who have a poor understanding of their complex ageing needs. This points to the need for specialised holistic care for this group. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop ways to support people ageing with CP within their communities. PROJECT
aimTo evaluate a co-developed specialised CP link worker role to support adults aged 40 and older ageing with CP in North Central London over 1 year.
methodsWe will undertake an evaluation of the link worker role by gathering data at baseline, 1-week and 3-months from participants who use the service. Feasibility outcomes will include recruitment and retention rates, acceptability of the intervention, completeness and quality of outcome data, and the practicality of collecting and analysing participant-reported outcome measures. Process evaluation outcomes will include insights into how the intervention was delivered and received, fidelity to the intervention model, contextual factors that influenced implementation, potential sustainability, and stakeholder experiences. This project has been co-developed with the charity UP - The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement, and we will work alongside a lived experience advisory group and stakeholder advisory group throughout the project.
