A Scoping Review of Therapy Provision Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme: Provider-Identified Barriers and Facilitators.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2026. 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
backgroundThe Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has transformed early intervention for children by introducing an individualised funding model. This PRISMA-based scoping review explores the common characteristics of therapy providers and the barriers and facilitators to implementing child NDIS interventions.
methodTwenty-seven databases were searched (2013-2026), and findings inductively grouped using qualitative content analysis. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
resultsFifty-five studies (k), representing a pooled sample of 3073 therapy providers, were reviewed. Qualitative designs were frequently used to understand therapists' experiences and perspectives (k = 37), followed by mixed methods (k = 12), quantitative designs (k = 5), and multiple methods (k = 1). Service barriers primarily stemmed from external structural factors, particularly NDIS policies and processes. Interventions tailored to a child's specific needs were a key facilitator.
conclusionsWhilst the NDIS is vital for child disability supports, therapy providers seek improvements to the scheme's complexity.
