Outpatient occupational therapy access for rural stroke survivors: barriers as perceived by therapists.
Article in Frontiers in stroke, 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
Aim: Identify occupational therapist (OTs) perceived barriers to occupational therapy (OT) access for rural stroke survivors as well as barriers in stroke specific training of therapists. Methods: An electronic gap analysis survey was developed and distributed Results: Twenty-six OTs responded. Responses were analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics and summarization of comments. Therapist-perceived barriers included: family/caregiver support, distance to clinic, insurance coverage, health literacy, roles and responsibilities, financial, and transportation. The primary barrier in treating rural stroke survivors identified by OTs was lack of appropriate clinic equipment for neuro-specific interventions. Conclusions: Further research is needed in a larger sample size to explore the extent to which therapist-perceived barriers agree with the stroke survivor's perspective and facilitate solutions to overcome them.
