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

objectivesJumping mechanography provides robust motor function indicators among healthy children. The aim of the study was to assess the reproducibility and validity of jumping mechanography conducted as single two-legged jump (S2LJ) in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

methods215 S2LJ investigations from a sample of 75 children with CP were eligible for evaluation. For the estimation of the reproducibility, only the baseline set of data per patient were used. Gross motor function was evaluated by the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66). In 135 S2LJ investigations, GMFM-66 was assessed within a week in the same child. This data was used for validity assessment.

resultsCoefficients of variation for the main outcome parameters ranged between 6.15-9.71%, except for jump height (CV%=27.3%). The intraclass correlation coefficients for peak velocity (V

conclusionsS2LJ assessed in the present study provided reproducible outcome measures particularly for Vmax and Pmax/mass in children with CP. Further, V
