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

Mobile apps are increasingly used in healthcare and are transforming neurorehabilitation by supporting patient care and enhancing clinical practice. Apps have demonstrated significant potential for supporting patients with various neurological disorders. Occupational therapists play a crucial role in integrating apps to enhance patients' performance by selecting those that match their needs. Existing research highlights the potential of therapy-specific apps in occupational therapy to meet the patient's unique needs. Most existing studies have been conducted in Western countries, and the experiences and perspectives of occupational therapists about using apps, their adoption, and implementation in Indian occupational therapy practice remain unexplored. The study aims to explore the experiences and perspectives of occupational therapists about the use of apps for neurorehabilitation in India. Occupational therapists who are working with patients having any neurological disorders in India will be recruited for this study. Braun and Clarke's approach to thematic analysis will be used to explore occupational therapists' experiences, investigated through an in-depth interview using a semi-structured interview guide.
