Application of the occupational therapy program based on PEO model in elderly patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundsDelirium is a transient state of confusion caused by multiple causes in the intensive care unit (ICU), characterized by impaired consciousness and altered cognitive function. Non-pharmacological measures are effective measures to prevent delirium in the ICU, including occupational therapy, early mobilization, environmental improvement, and correction of hearing and vision. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of occupational therapy regimens based on the Person-Environment-Occupation model (PEO) to reduce the incidence of delirium and improve the prognosis of patients with mechanical ventilation in elderly people in ICU.
methodsThis study is a single-center, randomized, controlled trial. We randomized 52 elderly mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the ICU in a 1:1 ratio into conventional delirium care (control group) and occupational therapy (experiment group). Randomization will be conducted using the sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelope (SNOSE) technique. The duration of treatment is from patient enrollment to patient discharge or return to baseline functional independence. The primary outcome was the incidence of delirium, which was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). Secondary outcome measures were duration of delirium, ability of daily living, length of ICU stay, grip strength, duration of mechanical ventilation, cognitive status, and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to assess patients' functional status before and after training. DISCUSSION: This study will investigate whether occupational therapy based on the PEO model affects the incidence and functional outcomes of delirium in elderly mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU. This study will provide new and important evidence on how to optimize outcomes in elderly patients with mechanical ventilation in the ICU.
