Occupational Therapy in the Treatment of Early Psychosis: a Scoping Review.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Extensive literature documents the benefits of intervening early for psychosis and for using interventions to support individuals experiencing a first episode of psychosis. Occupational therapy (OT) is used in the treatment of early psychosis, yet the specific role of OT within these multidisciplinary teams remains underexplored. By mapping existing evidence, this scoping review aims to present the evidence related to the inclusion of OT in early intervention for psychosis. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in November 2020. Three authors independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts to extract data, adhering to predetermined eligibility criteria. The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) level of evidence scale was applied to assess study quality. Six studies met inclusion criteria. Publication dates ranged from 1980 to 2011. Studies were predominantly conducted in outpatient settings (n = 6) across urban locations (n = 4). Results included one non-randomized quasi-experimental study, one analytical observational study with a retrospective cohort design, and four descriptive observational studies, including two case reports and two expert opinions on Early Intervention for Psychosis (EIP) programs, with evidence levels varying across the included studies. Despite OT's documented efficacy in mental health care, reviews specifically exploring OT's role in early psychosis are lacking. This scoping review identified six relevant studies, highlighting significant variability in interventions, outcomes, and study designs. Rigorous research is needed to establish evidence of OT's effectiveness and potential contribution to the treatment of early psychosis to address current gaps in care provision.
