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

Survivors of stroke, particularly those with communication difficulties, are often excluded from usability testing of digital health tools. This exclusion limits the accessibility and relevance of digital interventions to this population. This tutorial presents a tailored methodology for usability testing of a co-designed website, EmpowerMe, developed to enhance self-efficacy in survivors of stroke and caregivers. A multidisciplinary team created a usability conceptual framework that included survivors with and without communication difficulties. Testing procedures were adapted to accommodate cognitive, motor, and communication needs. Outcome measures included usability scores, task completion rates, knowledge acquisition, and user experience feedback. The tutorial offers a replicable framework for inclusive usability testing in digital health, especially for populations with neurological and communication impairments.
