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

The care for adults with spina bifida is an important area to study. As increasing numbers of patients with spina bifida survive into adulthood, they expect to thrive and receive the best possible care into adulthood to maintain their health. Understanding the health needs in this emerging and changing population will help clinicians provide the best anticipatory care for adults with spina bifida and continue to improve outcomes. This will also impact pediatric care by improving the ability to determine preventive methods from early on and understand the impacts of pediatric care and decisions over the lifespan.
