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

Background: Therapists in low- and middle-income countries have limited access to mentorship and affordable continuing education within the field of occupational therapy. An international, 6-week Pediatric Clinical Competency Extension for Community Health Care Outcomes program for occupational therapists was developed to meet this need. The primary outcomes included the efficacy of the extension for community health care outcomes platform for improved clinical competency. Program retention, satisfaction, and confidence with the online platform were also examined. Method: A quasi-experimental pretest posttest design was utilized. Anonymous online surveys were sent before and after each of the six extension for community health care outcomes sessions. Findings: Participants ( Conclusion: The extension for community health care outcomes platform proved to be an effective, low-cost platform for telementoring and supporting occupational therapists in low resource areas. Extension for community health care outcomes was reported to be an accessible learning platform that could be used to expand knowledge internationally.
