Article in Learning health systems, 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
Introduction: Stakeholder engagement is a core element of a learning health system (LHS). Meaningful engagement of stakeholders can improve learning within a health system by informing program development and service delivery and by increasing buy-in and sustainability of evidence-based practices. While health systems recognize the value of stakeholder engagement, conducting stakeholder engagement activities requires time, resources, and the support of health system leadership. The objective of this pilot study was to obtain preliminary data on the value of stakeholder engagement from the perspective of rehabilitation directors. Methods: We conducted a general qualitative study utilizing 90-min focus groups. The main outcomes were domains identified from analysis of the focus group transcripts. Results: Six individuals from 4 health systems participated in one of two focus groups. Seven domains were identified: (1) how stakeholder engagement supports organizational mission and priorities; (2) types of stakeholders working with health systems; (3) past stakeholder engagement experiences; (4) engagement with stakeholders with lived experiences; (5) sustaining stakeholder relationships; (6) challenges with stakeholder engagement; and (7) future stakeholder engagement goals. Conclusions: This qualitative pilot study of the perspectives of rehabilitation LHS leaders on stakeholder engagement provides preliminary data that can be used to inform future research. While we found consistent themes recognizing the value of stakeholder engagement and participation in stakeholder engagement, respondents noted challenges in engaging stakeholders and using the information gained to effect change.
