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

In the twenty-first century, granting organizations and journals increasingly expect health services research to include the active participation and voices of people with lived experience in studies relevant to their lives. This paper reports the 30-year history of engagement between CanChild Centre for Childhood-Onset Disability Research and families of children with neurodisabilities. We offer a brief background history of how these activities began and report on several programmes of research, knowledge sharing, and implementation that have benefitted enormously from the relationships with families and the insights they have provided on virtually every dimension of our work. We also briefly report on some of our recent formal and informal engagements with young people with lived experience, an aspect of our work that is now being more actively developed. We hope that this overview of one centre's experiences and lessons learned from active partnerships with "the people who know" will be of value to others.
