Engagement in Evidence-Based Practice Activities and Thinking by Rehabilitation Therapists: Predictive Factors.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 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
Objective: To explore relationships between therapists' recurrent, self-regulated evidence-related activities and antecedent factors that may influence these habits. Design: Secondary analysis of survey data using multivariate regression/correlations analyses. Setting: Representative sample of 30 inpatient rehabilitation clinics across the United States. Participants: 163 rehabilitation therapists (N=163), specifically physical and occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Evidence-informed professional thinking, which is comprised of measures of recurrent, self-regulated evidence-informed practice (EIP) and reflective critical clinical reasoning (CCR) activities by therapists. Results: Scores indicate infrequent engagement in EIP activities (mean=4.22, SD=0.93), with somewhat greater engagement in CCR (mean=5.00, SD=0.920). Therapists generally had positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice (EBP) on the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale-36. The EIP and CCR were highly related ( Conclusions: Self-regulated engagement in EIP and CCR are predicted by identifiable but somewhat complex antecedents. CCR was more strongly related to EIP than any other variable. Results suggest that implementation strategies that engage therapists' reflective critical clinical reasoning will be more successful at increasing therapists' engagement in self-regulated EBP habits than in strategies that do not.
