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

Objective: To determine the uptake and recommendations for revision of the 2018 Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG): Core Set Outcome Measures for Adults with Neurologic Conditions Undergoing Rehabilitation. Design: Online Survey. Setting: Online with participants from multiple settings. Participants: Licensed physical therapists (PT) or physical therapist assistants (PTA) or a non-PT supervisor of PTs and/or PTAs. Interventions: N/A. Main Outcome Measures: An online survey was developed to determine respondents' knowledge, perceived benefits, challenges, gaps, and modifications made to the 2018 CPG as well as to ascertain respondents' recommendations for the CPG revision. Data were analyzed descriptively by respondent role (clinician, educator/researcher, or supervisor/manager). Respondents' narrative comments were coded into 3 categories: implementation challenges, modifications, and revision recommendations. Results: Four hundred and ninety-seven individuals accessed the survey. Seventy-six percent (379) completed 80% of items. Two hundred and forty-one (63.5%) identified their primary role as clinician. The majority (99%) agreed they understood the purpose, process and recommendations of the CPG; 70% agreed that the CPG changed their practice. More than 70% agreed the CPG-recommended Core Set provided a comprehensive assessment of balance and gait. Narrative comments revealed implementation challenges including lack of time, space and buy-in. Clinicians made modifications to the Core Set including using fewer measures, adding other measures and modifying measures (e.g. changing distances, providing patient assistance). Suggestions for the CPG revision included adding higher and lower-level measures. Conclusions: Despite reported barriers to clinical implementation of CPGs, survey respondents overwhelmingly reported gaining knowledge and changing practice in response to the 2018 CPG. They recommended the revision include measures to capture both higher- and lower-level activities. Future CPG developers should consider assessing uptake and recommendations to help guide CPG revisions.
