Interdisciplinary collaboration in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation: a cross-sectional survey of rehabilitation services.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 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
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, requiring coordinated rehabilitation services to address complex and multidimensional needs. Despite widespread endorsement of interdisciplinary rehabilitation models, evidence on how such collaboration is implemented in real-world healthcare settings remains limited. This study examined healthcare professionals' perceptions and experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration in adult TBI rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a convenience sample of 314 healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in rehabilitation settings in Saudi Arabia. The survey assessed professional characteristics, experience with TBI rehabilitation, perceived importance of interdisciplinary practice, collaboration frequency, training exposure, and referral authority. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance with post-hoc comparisons, independent-samples Results: Responses to the perceived-importance item were mixed: 157 respondents (50.0%) strongly agreed, and 42 (13.4%) agreed that an interdisciplinary approach is important in adult TBI rehabilitation; 63 (20.1%) were neutral, and 52 (16.6%) disagreed or strongly disagreed. The combined agreement figure was 63.4% (199/314). Perceived importance differed significantly by profession, Conclusion: Healthcare professionals demonstrated generally positive attitudes toward interdisciplinary TBI rehabilitation; however, profession-specific differences were observed in both perceived importance and reported collaboration frequency. Training status was not associated with more frequent collaboration, suggesting that education alone may be insufficient without workplace systems that support interdisciplinary practice. These findings highlight the need for structured referral pathways, clearer professional roles, and targeted professional-development initiatives to strengthen interdisciplinary rehabilitation for individuals with TBI.
