Activity-based therapy for individuals with spinal cord injury/disease: perspectives of acute care therapists.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
STUDY
designAn exploratory descriptive study was conducted.
objectiveTo determine if and how occupational therapists (OTs) and physical therapists (PTs) in acute care hospital settings use activity-based therapy (ABT) and its associated technologies.
settingAcute care hospital settings in Canada.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with physical and occupational therapists, licensed in Canada, who worked in an acute care neurological setting with individuals with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D). To analyze the data, interpretive description was used. NVivo 12 was used for data management.
resultsFive physical therapists and two occupational therapists were interviewed (n = 7). Two therapists declined after reading a description of the study. Through analysis, the following themes were identified as affecting the delivery of ABT as part of SCI/D rehabilitation in the acute care setting: (1) Impact of patient acuity on ABT participation, (2) ABT approach unique to the acute care setting, and (3) Influence of acute care work environment and therapy practice. Throughout these themes, therapists referred to dosage as a limiting factor affecting ABT delivery.
conclusionsOur research reveals that implementing ABT in an acute care setting is challenging considering the high dosage of movement practice required for ABT. To increase dosage and the use of ABT in acute care, strategies could include early patient education on ABT, strategic use of social supports, and use of portable technology already incorporated in acute care.
