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

BackgroundEvidence to guide multiple sclerosis (MS) rehabilitation and symptomatic care has grown, yet suboptimal access to care persists and uptake of evidence-based information is limited in practice. The movement of evidence into routine clinical care is not a spontaneous or linear process. Effective knowledge mobilization strategies may enhance equitable access to evidenced-based comprehensive MS care.MethodsTo guide the development of a MS rehabilitation knowledge mobilization strategy with priorities and action items a Canadian summit was hosted to engage key stakeholders in identifying and discussing current MS rehabilitation and symptomatic care evidence and needs. This multifaceted summit included workshops, breakout groups, presentations, brainstorming, and consensus-building.ResultsForty-three key stakeholders participated. Varied disciplines, Canadian geographical regions, and content expertise were represented. This included early/mid/late-career researchers, healthcare providers, and people with MS. The summit process identified 18 key need statements. Participants individually rated the identified need statements on feasibility and importance, and the relationships in terms of timeliness and impact were discussed. The three top priorities were identified and focused on for action planning. Developing a best-practice guideline for MS rehabilitation was unanimously identified as the critical first step to improve access to care. Support for healthcare providers and establishing a network to support this knowledge mobilization work were the next two priorities. Priority topic areas for knowledge mobilization were fatigue, mobility, cognition, mood and emotion, and rehabilitation across the MS disease course.ConclusionKnowledge mobilization priorities and key topic areas for MS rehabilitation have been identified using a collaborative process. The lessons learned from this summit will inform advocacy efforts for improved access to evidence-based comprehensive care and opportunities to support moving a sustainable MS rehabilitation knowledge mobilization agenda forward. Creating a formalized Canadian MS Rehab Knowledge Mobilization Network was an outcome of the summit, and our network will collaboratively support advancing and re-evaluating this agenda.
