Occupational performance priorities and outcomes in long-term transitional rehabilitation for young adults with acquired brain injury.
Observational study in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 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 a new long-term transitional rehabilitation service following acquired brain injury, occupational performance problems are analysed.
aimThe objective was to describe these problems and the participants' prioritization, and also to describe the changes between admission and discharge. Another objective was to describe changes in assessed independence-related disability.
designObservational clinical study. PATIENTS: Young adults (18-25 years), (n = 46), who had earlier undergone traditional medical rehabilitation following acquired brain injury.
methodsThe Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used on both admission and discharge. Independence-related general disability was assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE).
resultsPatients identified 122 occupational performance problems as important. Most problems were in socialization (3/7), community activities (1/3), and finding paid or unpaid work (1/4). Self-rated levels of performance and satisfaction in COPM were significantly higher on discharge compared with admission. The range of GOSE scores increased from 4-6 to 4-8 between admission and discharge.
conclusionYoung adults with acquired brain injury tend to prioritize rehabilitation goals to reduce difficulties in establishing relationships and/or in professional life. On discharge, ratings of implementation and satisfaction of performance were distinctly elevated, while assessed global disability was decreased. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The results highlight the need for transitional rehabilitation for patient-centred remediating measures.
