Coproducing an intervention to support stroke unit staff to provide information about recovery to patients and carers.

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
Objective: Stroke survivors and their carers report receiving insufficient information about recovery, particularly how much is expected and the associated timescales. Providing this information is challenging for stroke unit staff, due to concerns about maintaining patients' hope and motivation for rehabilitation, and a lack of training. We aimed to design an intervention to support staff to provide information about recovery in ways which meet patient and carer needs. Methods: Five stroke survivors, four carers, and six stroke unit professionals participated in six, monthly coproduction workshops. Results: The group created an intervention designed to increase staff confidence and skills in providing post-stroke recovery information. The intervention encourages a patient-centred approach and includes good practice guidance and a training package for staff (including communication skills training), with associated materials to deliver the approach. Conclusion: An evidence-based, theory-informed intervention has been coproduced, with the potential to meet the needs of intervention targets (staff) and information recipients (patients/carers). Innovation: A novel approach to designing an intervention to improve provision of post-stroke recovery information was employed. Inclusion of stroke survivor and carer perspectives aimed to ensure the intervention would meet patients and carers' needs, whilst professionals' perspectives ensured it was feasible to implement in practice.
