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
Background: Competency is the ability to apply knowledge and skills efficiently to achieve required outcomes, typically measured through performance. Professional competency standards in healthcare describe the specific knowledge, skills, and attributes required for practice. In India, the occupational therapy (OT) profession is gaining recognition, highlighting a need for national competency standards to improve quality of care and professional visibility. Objective: The overall aim of this study is to create a draft set of professional competency standards for occupational therapists in India by reviewing, synthesizing, and adapting existing competencies published in other parts of the world. Study Design: Formative research design involving document analysis of global competency standards and an adaptive process in collaboration with the Indian Occupational Therapists Think Tank (IOTTT) to develop a draft set of professional competency standards for Indian OTs. Methods: An iterative Delphi process was used. An Expert Working Group (EWG) was formed with three IOTTT executive members. A document analysis was conducted to gather and critically analyze existing OT competency standards. Competency documents were identified from professional associations and regulatory bodies worldwide. The analysis followed the framework method, involving a series of steps to extract and analyze data to create a draft set of competency standards for Indian OTs. The coadaptation process included individual reviews, scoring, and review meetings with the EWG. Results: Document analysis revealed 31 OT competency standards, with 12 meeting the inclusion criteria, including documents from Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mauritius, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, the UK, and the USA. After the iterative decision-making process, a draft set identified 15 competency domains, 97 competency standards, and 2 61 competency indicators, including essential competencies across various aspects of OT practice. Conclusions: We prepared the draft set of Indian OT competency standards that reflected global practices and adapted to the Indian context. The next steps are further refinement of the document with iterative feedback from other IOTTT members and contributing OTs, followed by a collaboration with the All-India Occupational Therapy Association for endorsement and implementation, ensuring relevance to the Indian context.
