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

Substance use disorders (SUDs) may significantly impact occupational performance and participation. Physical activity interventions are beneficial for individuals with SUD and can be delivered by occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs). We aimed to evaluate the current evidence for physical activity interventions within the scope of occupational therapy (OT) for treating SUDs. This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines for data abstraction and assessment, including 28 articles in this review. Searches were conducted in Medline, APA PsycInfo, Embase, CINAHL, and OTSeeker from September 2021 to August 2023. Physical activity interventions included yoga, tai chi, comprehensive integrated approaches (CIA), high-intensity/circuit training, and music/dance interventions. Yoga, tai chi, CIA, and high-intensity exercise significantly reduced substance use and cravings. Tai chi, CIA, and dance/music interventions decreased stress and improved mental health and sleep outcomes. This review provides a foundation for advancing OTP-directed physical activity interventions in SUD-related rehabilitation and recovery.
