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

Purpose of review: Currently, a lack of guidelines exists regarding best practices for occupational therapists (OTs) in the treatment and evaluation of oculomotor dysfunction following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Furthermore, individuals with TBI would benefit significantly from collaboration between OTs and optometrists during inpatient rehab. Recent findings: Although few articles examine interdisciplinary models of inpatient rehab care that include optometry, a recent pilot study is explored. Emerging evidence from the field of optometry supports the use of restorative approaches for oculomotor impairment in mild TBI; however, cases with moderate to severe TBI are not addressed. Summary: We describe an interdisciplinary approach involving collaboration between optometry and occupational therapy, yielding a comprehensive model to effectively evaluate and treat oculomotor impairments in those with TBI and facilitate improved performance in daily activities. We also provide guidelines useful for OTs working in settings where collaboration with optometry is not feasible.
