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

Introduction: We aimed to investigate whether occupational therapists are exposed to violence in their professional lives and to identify the types of violence they encounter. Method: This descriptive online-survey study was conducted with 158 female and 43 male occupational therapists, with a mean age of 23.92 years. The survey comprised three sections. The first section included questions pertaining to personal information and workplace details. The second section addressed experiences of violence under the following headings: overall violence, physical violence, psychological violence, and sexual violence. The third section comprised two questions regarding witnessing violence and exposure to the code white protocol. Results: A total of 49% ( Conclusion: Nearly half of the occupational therapists experienced violence, with psychological violence being the most common type. Addressing violence at the worker, patient, and system levels may help reduce its prevalence.
