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

Background: Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) face challenges including time constraints, workflow disruption, and lack of standardized data collection protocols. We evaluated the usability of "Patient Progress," a web application designed to support PBRN data collection among Canadian chiropractors and their patients. Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used. Ten chiropractors piloted the application over six months, collecting patient-reported outcome measures and clinical data from 60 patients. Patient usability was assessed via the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ); chiropractor perspectives were explored through semi-structured interviews analyzed thematically. Results: Patients rated overall usability highly (mean 6.63/7). Chiropractor interviews identified key implementation barriers: lack of integration with existing practice management software, bilingual interface issues, questionnaire length, and recruitment challenges. Conclusion: "Patient Progress" shows promise for PBRN data collection in chiropractic practice. Wider implementation requires seamless integration with existing software systems, interface improvements, and value-added clinical features to incentivize practitioner participation.
