The Effect of Occupational Therapy Services on Functional Mobility for Patients with Cancer in Acute Care Settings.

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
Objective: To investigate the effect of occupational therapy (OT) services on functional mobility status for patients with cancer in an acute care setting. Design: Secondary data were used in a retrospective, observational study. Setting: The setting was a National Cancer Institute (NCI) hospital in Richmond, Virginia. Participants: Patients aged 18-93 years of age (51.6% female and 48.4% identifying as male) with 6 cancer diagnoses (breast, blood/hematologic, colorectal/gastrointestinal, gynecologic, lung/respiratory, and prostate/genitourinary) admitted to an NCI over 5 years were included for analysis. There were 1949 patients included for analysis in a paired Intervention: The study analyzed the receipt and intensity of OT services. Main Outcome Measure: Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) 6-Clicks Basic Mobility scores were analyzed at the time of admission to therapy services and prior to discharge. Results: The patients' final recorded AM-PAC 6-Clicks Basic Mobility score was statistically significantly higher than the first session's AM-PAC 6-Clicks Basic Mobility score as determined by a paired Conclusions: There was a statistically significant increase in functional mobility independence for patients with cancer who received OT services in an unadjusted analysis and a non-significant increase in an adjusted analysis of patients' functional mobility. Findings suggest OT services for patients with cancer may influence functional mobility independence.
