Home-Based, Therapist-Assisted, Therapy for Young Children With Primary Complex Motor Stereotypies.
Article in Pediatric neurology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundComplex motor stereotypies (CMS) typically begin before age three years and include rhythmic, repetitive, fixed movements that last for seconds to minutes and can be interrupted with distraction.
objectiveWe evaluated the effectiveness of a home-based, parent-provided therapy accompanied by scheduled telephone calls with a therapist, in five- to seven-year old children with primary CMS.
methodsEligible families received an instructional digital versatile disk (DVD) written instructions, and scheduled telephone contacts with a therapist at baseline (DVD receipt), one, three, and eight weeks later. At each call, parents completed outcome measures and received feedback. Outcome scales Stereotypy Severity Scale (SSS) Motor and Impairment scales and a Stereotypy Linear Analogue Scale (SLAS) were also completed via the Iinternet (REDCap)-at screening, one and two months post-baseline call. At study conclusion, participants were divided into an intent-to-treat (ITT; had at least one call) or a lost-to-follow-up (LTF) group.
resultsThirty-eight children (mean = 6 years ± 11 months) were enrolled. The LTF group (n = 14) had significantly higher scores than the ITT (n = 24) group on all attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ratings (P < 0.01), but not stereotypy severity. Primary outcome scores, acquired by telephone and REDCap, showed a significant reduction in SSS Motor and Impairment scores between the initial and the last completed evaluation (P ≤ 0.001). Calculated change ratios were SSS Motor -0.23/-0.30 (cal/REDCap); SSS Impairment -0.31/-0.32; and SLAS -0.54 (REDCap). Clinical improvement was further supported by results from a parent improvement scale and end of study questionnaires.
conclusionsHome-based, parent-administered behavioral therapy supplemented by telephone contact with a therapist is effective in reducing complex motor stereotypies in children.
