Healthcare providers' experience of delivering a heart rate variability feedback intervention to individuals living with spinal cord injury to inform implementation into usual care.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore healthcare providers' experiences of delivering heart rate variability feedback (HRV-F) therapy to individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and identify potential facilitators and barriers to implementing HRV-F into usual rehabilitation care.
methodsSix healthcare providers involved in delivering HRV-F therapy participated in an interview. The interviews were dual coded to the domains and constructs of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) version 2.0 to identify potential barriers and facilitators for implementation.
resultsFrom the interviews, 166 facilitators and 187 barriers were identified and mapped into 29 interview statements for facilitators and 30 interview statements for barriers under CFIR domains, constructs and sub-constructs. The key facilitators included: (i) evidence-based implementation of HRV-F therapy, (ii) availability of champions and mentors among healthcare providers to promote delivery of HRV-F, and (iii) adaptability of HRV-F therapy to implement in different contexts and for different needs. Common barriers included: (i) workplace culture (ii) negative attitudes of healthcare providers towards HRV-F therapy, (iii) inadequate funding, (iv) information technology issues with HRV-F equipment, and (v) effectiveness of HRV-F for a wide range of individuals living with SCI.
conclusionsThe findings highlight potential facilitators and implementation strategies to overcome identified barriers to ensure effective adoption of HRV-F therapy into usual rehabilitation practices for individuals living with SCI.
