Participation restrictions in isolated cervical dystonia: a convergent mixed-methods study.
Article 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
objectiveTo describe participation in adults with isolated cervical dystonia and to explore how restrictions are experienced in everyday life.
designConvergent mixed-methods study with case- and theme-level integration through joint displays. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Adults with a self-reported specialist diagnosis of cervical dystonia.
methodsRespondents completed an online survey including the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation. A purposive subsample completed semi-structured interviews, analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Quantitative data were summarized with 95% confidence intervals.
results108 respondents (73% women; mean age 51.6 [SD 14.1] years; mean disease duration 11.6 [SD 12.8] years) completed the survey. Mean scores indicated low frequency (36.6, 95% CI 34.3-38.8), moderate restrictions (67.6, 64.8-70.3), and low satisfaction (43.3, 40.5-46.1); the productivity domain was the most affected (31.6, 28.7-34.5), with leisure (51.3, 48.4-54.2) and social participation (51.5, 49.4-53.6) less restricted but still constrained. Ten participants were interviewed. Three themes were generated: living with unpredictability; invisibility and contested recognition; and a symptom-focused system in a participation-focused life.
conclusionParticipation was restricted across everyday domains and shaped by fluctuating symptoms, social recognition, and the structure of available care. Patient-reported participation may be a useful complementary outcome alongside impairment-focused assessment.
