Comparing narrative-informed occupational therapy in adult outpatient mental health to treatment as usual: A quasi-experimental feasibility study with preliminary treatment outcomes.
Article in Occupational therapy in mental health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This paper describes implementation of a narrative-informed occupation-based service in an outpatient community mental health setting that addressed several gaps, including 1) the need for outcome data on occupational therapy in this setting; 2) an ongoing mental health provider shortage; and 3) a need for innovative approaches to supporting mental health. We found a significant improvement from baseline to post-intervention in occupational participation, and dose of occupational therapy was significantly related to improvements in the areas of roles, habits, values, long-term goals, social environment, and readiness for change. This study suggests future, larger effectiveness studies of narrative-informed occupation-based interventions delivered by occupational therapists in outpatient community mental health are warranted.
