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

backgroundBalancing physical activity, sedentary time and sleep is important for the well-being of preschoolers (3-4 years) with disabilities. Occupational Therapists (OTs) are important disseminators of the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years but require a resource for clinical implementation. This study aimed to co-design and assess the content validity of such a resource.

methodsUsing the Framework for Co-design of Clinical Tools, five workshops were conducted with an advisory council of OTs (n = 9) and caregivers of children with disabilities (n = 5) to co-design the resource. Researchers (n = 6) consulted on the scientific integrity of the resource. Thematic analysis was used to summarize workshop data for the co-design process and examine content validity.

resultsThe Early Movers Clinician's Guide, an open access resource to support OTs in using the guidelines was created. Themes reflected within the co-design process included the importance of a person-centred approach, meaningful measurement and context-driven information sharing. Participants reported positive perceptions of the resource's content validity, supporting its potential for clinical application.

conclusionsThe Early Movers Clinician's Guide was co-designed to support OTs in translating the guidelines into practice with preschoolers with disabilities. Future research will evaluate broader implementation.
