How do mobility device users integrate their devices into occupational performance? A narrative literature review.
Review in The British journal of occupational therapy, 2023. 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
Introduction: Knowledge about how mobility devices are integrated into occupational performance is important to improve participation in daily life among users and assistive technology provision. This study aimed to identify and synthesise literature on how mobility device users integrate their devices into occupational performance. Methods: A narrative review was conducted with a systematic search in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and SocINDEX for scientific, original, peer-reviewed journal publications in the English or Scandinavian languages. Following search terms were used: mobility devices, occupational performance and synonyms. Publications were screened and read, and data were extracted by two authors independently. Results: A total of 4088 hits led to the identification of six publications. Two categories were identified: (1) how mobility devices are integrated into occupational performance and (2) for what types of occupations beyond mobility are mobility devices used for; seven types were revealed. Conclusion: Mobility devices are integrated into occupations in unique ways to the individual users, shaping how occupations are performed and are used for different types of occupations beyond mobility. Since mobility device use is situational, it is suggested to investigate assistive technology use, applying a transactional perspective to improve assistive technology provision to increase fulfilment of users' needs and preferences.
