1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim: To explore occupational therapy students' perspectives on ableism and its implications for occupational therapy practice. This formed part of a wider study that also explored occupational therapy educators' perspectives. Method: An online survey was used to collect students' perspectives, using a mixture of Likert scales and open-ended questions. Findings: The sample comprised 56 occupational therapy students from the United Kingdom ( Conclusion/Impact: Findings indicated a potential link between understanding of ableism and students' views that occupational therapy is ableist. Most students were aware of the potential they hold unconscious biases and welcomed support to engage further with disability studies. Further qualitative research is needed. Following this, systemic changes to address the harm of ableism can begin to be addressed.
