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

backgroundIntellectual disability (ID) is a major public health issue in India. Social, environmental and biological factors all contribute to the nation's high rate of ID.

objectiveWe aimed to investigate the distribution, differences and the association of social, environmental and biological factors with different types of ID in a mixed (tribal and non-tribal) population in India. MATERIALS AND

methodsSecondary data was collected during a community-based rehabilitation project and analyzed with descriptive statistics: Frequency, percentage and χ(2).

resultsPoverty, low levels of parental education and a family history of epilepsy and ID were all associated in both tribal and non-tribal populations (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe outcome of this study may be helpful in planning public health initiatives that aim to reduce the burden of ID in mixed populations.
