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
Occupational therapy (OT) is an emerging healthcare profession in Vietnam, with limited awareness and understanding among local healthcare professionals (HCPs). This study is aimed at assessing the impact of an educational intervention designed to improve HCPs' knowledge and attitudes toward OT in Vietnamese healthcare settings. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study involved 13 participants from Da Nang Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Hospital and Da Nang Psychiatric Hospital, representing various healthcare disciplines. The intervention included a series of journal club sessions focused on the principles, scope, and culturally relevant applications of OT. Quantitative data from pre- and postintervention assessments revealed significant improvements in HCPs' general knowledge of OT, its practice areas, and goals, with statistical significance observed in multiple domains. Qualitative data collected through field notes and reflective journals provided additional insights into HCPs' evolving perceptions of OT's role in holistic and mental healthcare. Notably, the study highlighted cultural factors, such as family involvement in patient care, which align with OT's client-centered approach but may also pose challenges in the integration of OT services. Barriers to OT adoption, including resource limitations and institutional support, were identified, underscoring the need for ongoing advocacy and resource allocation to sustain the progress achieved through the intervention. The findings suggest that culturally tailored educational programs are essential for the effective integration of OT in Vietnam and similar contexts. This research contributes to the global understanding of OT's role in diverse healthcare environments, providing a framework for expanding OT services in emerging regions.
