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

aimFamily-centred goal setting (FCGS) is seen as fundamental to improving meaningful outcomes in paediatric rehabilitation. However, the degree to which FCGS is implemented in paediatric rehabilitation is unknown. This study aimed to develop and utilise a Chart Audit Tool to measure adherence to FCGS in a Canadian inpatient paediatric brain injury unit.

methodsIn this retrospective chart review, a FCGS Chart Audit Tool was developed, piloted on 17 charts, and refined. The audit tool evaluated three categories (i.e., Partnership, Identification and Agreement) and eight subcategories. Charts were included of patients discharged between January and December 2023, with a minimum 14-day stay and involvement from at least two rehabilitation professionals. After a 70% inter-rater reliability was achieved, the audit tool was applied independently by one researcher to review 50 charts. Descriptive analyses were employed to calculate the adherence rates of rehabilitation professionals to the recommended practise of FCGS.

resultsOverall, FCGS mean adherence expressed per chart was observed in 60% of the 50 charts reviewed across all categories (range of 33% to 80%). Individual mean adherence rates for the categories were 68% for Partnership, 70% for Identification and 66% for Agreement. Across the eight subcategories, mean adherence rates varied between 7% for the use of 'family-centred tools' to 79% for 'goals supporting family priorities.'

conclusionsResults of a chart review suggest that FCGS is being implemented most of the time but with areas for improvement. The novel creation of an audit tool to systematically quantify FCGS provides an important foundation for future research.
