Expert opinions on knowledge-translation interventions for occupational therapists working with neonates in South Africa: A Delphi study.

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
Background: There is a paucity of literature on knowledge translation (KT) interventions for occupational therapists (OTs) in assessing and caring for the neonate and at-risk infant. Care at this stage of life is paramount, requiring a shift from the survival of the neonate, to the quality of survival. Consequently, clinicians working with neonates have a crucial role in ensuring optimal development and preventing long-term adverse developmental outcomes. Aim: This study aimed to explore experts' opinions on KT interventions for OTs working with neonates and at-risk infants in South Africa. Setting: This study was located in South Africa. Due to the virtual nature of data collection, no geographical limitations within the country were imposed. Method: A two-round Delphi study with a multidisciplinary expert panel ( Results: Consensus on 127 items out of 130 was achieved. These included consensus on the definition of KT in neonatal care, the knowledge that OTs should possess, professional competencies, skills required, professional values, and characteristics. Further agreement was reached on the KT process, the usefulness of KT modalities, recommended courses in neonatal care, barriers to KT, best-practice and requirements for undergraduate training. Conclusion: Knowledge translation required for OTs working with neonates and at-risk infants were established in this study. Contribution: This study may be useful for consideration in contextually relevant KT interventions for clinicians working in neonatal care.
