Occupational Performance Limitations After Concussion in College Students.
Article in The American journal of occupational therapy : official publication of the American Occupational Therapy Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
importanceOccupational performance limitations (OPLs) are poorly understood sequelae of concussion. This study aimed to establish the need for occupational therapy services for people who have sustained a concussion and to support the profession's role in facilitating occupational performance for college students experiencing signs and symptoms after concussion.
objectiveTo describe the types and frequency of, and assess risk factors for, OPLs in college students after concussion.
designCross-sectional descriptive study.
settingWeb-based survey on Qualtrics.
participantsA total of 220 participants completed the survey; of those, 52 (23.6%) self-identified as having sustained a concussion and were further asked about OPLs after the concussion.
resultsEighty-nine percent (n = 46) of the participants reported an OPL in at least one area, and higher OPL scores were associated with the number of concussion symptoms (r = .34, p = .02) and increased recovery time (≥3 days vs. <3 days, p = .006). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: College students reporting concussions with more symptoms that persisted for longer periods were more likely to experience occupational performance loss. Frequent OPLs were reported in occupations associated with the participants' primary role of student. These results indicate a unique need for occupational therapy intervention with students to facilitate their continued success in academic pursuits. What This Article Adds: People who have sustained a concussion experience OPLs. Occupational therapy has a role in facilitating a return to occupational performance during recovery, especially in helping college students with concussion return to the classroom.
