Stakeholder Perspectives on Built Environmental Factors to Support Stroke Rehabilitation and Return to Everyday Life.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe transition to undertaking rehabilitation in the home or local neighbourhood calls for an extensive understanding of which aspects of the built environment are important for people with stroke.
objectiveThis qualitative study aims to explore how home and local neighbourhood environments support or hinder rehabilitation for people who have had a stroke from the perspectives of various stakeholders.
methodsThrough a purposive selection method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 16 stakeholders: people with stroke (n = 3), significant others (n = 3), healthcare professionals (n = 4), care managers (n = 3) and architects (n = 3). Content analysis was used to identify patterns and create themes.
findingsSixteen stakeholders, including 12 women and 4 men aged 30-74, participated in this study. Our findings identify areas linked to the WHO age-friendly environment framework, which addresses environmental limitations relevant to stroke rehabilitation. The categories used and factors identified: (1) Outdoor environments: accessibility, safety and supportiveness. (2) Transport and mobility: accessible and reach central services. (3) Housing: adaptations, layout and accessibility. (4) Social participation: spaces that are varied and flexible. (5) Social inclusion and non-discrimination: shared decision-making. (6) Civic engagement and employment: supporting environments. (7) Communication and information: digital accessibility. (8) Community and health services: patient-centred approach and access to varied rehabilitation.
conclusionThis study brings together multiple perspectives from key stakeholders with experience within stroke care. By integrating insights, these findings highlight how built environmental factors in the home and local neighbourhood can support the transition to home-based rehabilitation, which can improve recovery and return to everyday life. In turn, this study contributes to the innovative development of home and neighbourhood environments to influence and support stroke rehabilitation. Linking the findings to the WHO framework increases our understanding of a supportive environment for people with stroke, but also for people with other long-term conditions. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This qualitative study is part of a comprehensive research project '(Built Environments to support rehabilitation for people with stroke, B-SURE)', which aims to investigate how factors in the built environment influence stroke rehabilitation and to develop built environment solutions. B-SURE has a participatory methodology that essentially includes and involves the stakeholders in the multiple stages of the study and ensures an iterative and collaborative process.
