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

Telehealth was widely adopted in pediatric occupational therapy practice during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, there is limited knowledge on telehealth use post-pandemic. This study collected 132 responses to a mixed-methods survey from March-October 2023 to explore pediatric occupational therapists' current use and perceptions on telehealth. Results indicated that over half of respondents continue to use telehealth. Frequency of use was differentiated by setting, with a significantly lower proportion of school-based respondents using telehealth compared to outpatient (p<.001) or early intervention (p<.001). The median rate of use was low with 10% of services delivered via telehealth. Respondents view telehealth as moderately effective and satisfactory. Rationale for use of telehealth included parent coaching, access to the natural environment, caregiver involvement, travel convenience, and to accommodate family illness. Challenges included lack of child engagement, limited parent involvement, and regulatory barriers.
