Assessing Paramedic Confidence and Competence in Responding to Individuals with Neurodiversity: A Scoping Review.
Review in Health services insights, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: In this article, the findings from a scoping review are presented identifying what is known regarding paramedic confidence, competence and education in managing the neurodivergent patient. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) framework was used to identify what is known about the confidence, competence, preparedness and education when engaging with the neurodiverse patient. Results: Four articles were identified that explored paramedics, their confidence, competence and education in assessment and management of the neurodivergent patient, highlighting the need to increase knowledge and understanding pertaining to the neurodivergent patient in order to improve care. Conclusion: Given the unique role of the paramedic in contemporary health care, this study contributes to the discourse around appropriate levels of training for paramedics, as it highlights gaps in the literature associated with neurodiversity specific paramedic training.
