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

objectiveDetermine feasibility and acceptability of the Living My Life Program from the perspective of rural and remote stroke survivors and identify refinements required.

settingQueensland, Australia.

participantsAdults diagnosed with stroke > 6 months prior, living at home, and willing to use videoconferencing technology.

designPragmatic mixed methods multiple case study design, incorporating elements of grounded theory and action research.

interventionTwelve-week online program designed to support stroke survivors to recover their way, in their world, using technology. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Feasibility (Q1-3) and acceptability (Q4) were assessed according to minimum success criteria to answer the following key questions: were stroke survivors able to: (Q1) participate in the Program as intended? (Q2) use technology to participate? (Q3) measure their progress according to what mattered to them? and (Q4) did stroke survivors find the Program acceptable?

resultsFour of 5 participants completed the Program using everyday technologies; one did not complete due to illness. Participants measured their progress using the Patient-Specific Functional Scale, with improvement reported in ≥ 1 goal(s). The Program was highly acceptable (Acceptability of Intervention Measure: median 20/20, range 18-20). Participants felt they could fit the Program into their lives easily, enabling them to drive their recovery and make progress towards what mattered to them. Refinements were incorporated during piloting or noted for future development.

conclusionThe Living My Life Program was feasible and acceptable from the rural and remote stroke survivors' perspective. The next step is to offer the Program to stroke survivors from diverse cultures and with varying stroke-related impairments and severity to determine its broader applicability.
