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

backgroundAn interprofessional approach integrating the perspectives of teachers and school-based occupational therapists is crucial for identifying and addressing complex activity problems among students with developmental difficulties. Nonetheless, the process through which professionals jointly perceive and describe these problems remains underexplored in Indonesia.

objectiveThis study is aimed at describing the experiences of Indonesian teachers and occupational therapists in identifying activity problems among primary school students with developmental difficulties.

methodsThis descriptive qualitative study included 15 participants (seven teachers, one assistant teacher, and seven occupational therapists) who were purposively sampled and invited to participate in four online focus group interviews. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis supported by member checking, peer debriefing, and an audit trail to ensure trustworthiness.

resultsTwo primary descriptive themes were identified as follows: (i) "holistic approaches to the management of student activity problems" and (ii) "students' functional participation challenges at school." The participants perceived those restrictions on students' participation in expected activities resulted from the dynamic interplay between student capacities and contextual environmental constraints.

conclusionsThese findings underscore the value of integrating diverse professional perspectives to capture the complex, transactional nature of students' functional participation challenges in educational environments. School-based occupational therapy practices should adopt holistic, collaborative approaches that empower school personnel and align with each school's context. Further studies are necessary to develop contextually relevant assessments, protocols, and support programs addressing participation restrictions in Indonesian school settings.
