Patient engagement for quality improvement and knowledge translation in paediatric orthopaedic care - a patient partner led initiative.
Article in Journal of patient-reported outcomes, 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
backgroundIn healthcare, a shift towards patient-centric models has gained traction, emphasizing patient empowerment. This is exemplified by initiatives such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR), which aims to foster a more sustainable and equitable healthcare system, as well as the increased support provided by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), which supports research that provides useful and reliable healthcare information to users. Despite progress in various healthcare domains, patient-engagement initiatives remain underexplored in paediatric orthopaedic care, highlighting a gap in tailored engagement strategies for this population.
methodsThis project took place within the department of orthopaedics at a provincial tertiary care children's hospital. Utilizing patient-partner led focus groups as a collaborative approach, we implemented engagement strategies guided by SPOR principles and informed by patient and caregiver feedback. Small focus groups facilitated meaningful discussions and allowed participants to contribute valuable insights into research, treatment, and knowledge translation (KT).
resultsThe focus groups identified action items to enhance patient engagement and research collaboration. Initiatives included the development of patient and family directories, patient resources, patient partnerships, patient spotlights on Instagram, and clinic gathering rooms. Co-creating KT materials ensured relevance and accessibility, fostering cooperation between patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
conclusionsThis initiative marks a shift towards patient-centric paediatric orthopaedic care, emphasizing inclusivity, support, and collaboration. Patient-partners played a pivotal role in the success of the project, ensuring patient perspectives were central to the planning and execution of initiatives.
