Optimizing Teacher-Occupational Therapist Collaboration: A Multimethod Knowledge Translation Initiative.
Article in Child: care, health and development, 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
introductionSupporting students with special needs in inclusive schools requires collaboration between teachers and occupational therapists (OTs). While service models promoting health, in-class support and shared knowledge are recommended, relational and organizational barriers persist. This multimethod study evaluates the impact of a tailored knowledge translation (KT) intervention on collaborative attitudes and behaviours of OT-teacher teams.
methodsA 12-week KT intervention, including six sessions with OTs and elementary teachers (n = 6), was conducted. Participants established two collaborative goals using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), rated weekly, and completed the Modified Index of Interdisciplinary Collaboration (MIIC) at three time points. Changes were analysed descriptively using mean scores to summarize. Postintervention, individualized interviews were conducted and analysed using inductive thematic analysis.
resultsWhile MIIC scores indicated stable perceived collaboration, improvements were observed in 11/12 collaboration-based goals, with average changes of +3.25 and +4.25 points on COPM performance and satisfaction scales, respectively. Four themes supported this shift: Embracing collaboration is valued personally and professionally; organizational and relational contexts shape collaboration; engaging environments support reflection and active learning; and self-efficacy and perspectives can shift postintervention.
conclusionFindings highlight the importance of adopting contextualized, tailored KT strategies in school settings to enhance OT-teacher collaboration and teamwork through dedicated time, space and intentional reflection.
