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
backgroundTo understand the current status of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of occupational therapy (OT) among healthcare professionals in intensive care unit (ICU) and analyze the influencing factors, to provide reference for nursing managers in developing targeted measures to promote the adoption of OT.
methodsFrom January to March 2025, we conducted a cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling among 511 ICU healthcare professionals across 13 cities in Jiangsu Province. Participants completed anonymous online questionnaires, including a general information form and a validated, self-developed Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) questionnaire to OT for ICU healthcare professionals. The KAP instrument comprised three dimensions: knowledge (12 items), attitude (16 items), and practice (14 items). We performed univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression using SPSS 25.0 to identify associated factors.
resultsA total of 464 valid questionnaires was received (90.8% response rate). The overall KAP performance showed an average score of 156.58 ± 31.16. Attitudes achieved the highest average score (67.54 ± 10.99), while knowledge showed the lowest (37.88 ± 13.56). Knowledge correlated positively with attitude and practice. Multivariate logistic regression identified age, professional title, ICU experience, hospital level, and OT-related knowledge training as factors influencing ICU healthcare professionals ' KAP levels.
conclusionThis KAP survey provides a diagnostic foundation for OT implementation, it indicates that educational training is a necessary, high-impact strategy. However, the negative association with seniority and hospital level indicates that a simple educational strategy may be insufficient; tailored strategies addressing organizational culture, workload, and professional role expectations in those specific contexts will be required.
