Occupational therapy lifestyle intervention added to multidisciplinary treatment for adults living with chronic pain: a feasibility study.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of an occupational therapy lifestyle intervention for adults living with chronic pain.
designThis one-group pre-post interventional study investigated the feasibility and outcomes of the Redesign Your Everyday Activities and Lifestyle with Occupational Therapy (REVEAL(OT)) intervention targeting meaningful activities and lifestyle. SETTINGS: The occupational therapist-led intervention was added to standard multidisciplinary chronic pain treatment at a Danish pain centre.
participantsOf the 40 adult participants aged 18-64 (mean 46.6±10.9 years old, 85% females, chronic pain duration ≥3 months), there were 31 completers.
interventionThree feasibility rounds were carried out in 2019-2021. The intervention focused on meaningful activities, healthy eating habits and daily physical activity. Methods of didactical presentations, group discussions, personal reflection and experiential learning were used in the intervention composed both of individual and group sessions. OUTCOMES: Primary outcomes were predefined research progression criteria evaluated by the red-amber-green method. Secondary outcomes measured pre-post changes in health-related quality of life and occupational performance and satisfaction.
resultsThe study demonstrated satisfactory programme adherence (77.5%), patients' self-perceived relevance (97%), timing and mode of delivery (97%) and assessment procedure acceptance (95%). No adverse events causing discontinuation occurred. Recruitment rate (n=5.7 monthly), retention (77.5%) and the fidelity of delivery (83.3%) needed improvement. We observed no improvement in health-related quality of life (mean=0.04, 95% CI -0.03 to 0.12) but positive change in occupational performance (mean=1.80, 95% CI 1.25 to 2.35) and satisfaction (mean=1.95, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.84). The participants reached the minimal clinically important difference for occupational performance (≥3.0 points in 13.8%) and satisfaction (≥3.2 points in 24.0%).
conclusionsThe REVEAL(OT) intervention was feasible to deliver and beneficial for the participants' occupational performance and satisfaction. The interventions' recruitment, retention and delivery strategies need optimisation in a future definitive trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03903900.
