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

objectiveSevere burns cause hypermetabolic responses and prolonged hospitalization, resulting in loss of body mass and muscle strength. This study aimed to determine whether long-term gains in lean body mass (LBM) after structured exercise programs are functionally meaningful and related to greater muscle strength in severely burned children. STUDY

designLBM and muscle strength were measured at discharge and at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after burn in 349 children. Body composition, including LBM, was measured via dual-emission X-ray-absorptiometry. Peak torque was measured using Biodex dynamometer at varying angular velocities (90, 120, 150, 180°/s). Pearson correlation analysis evaluated the association between LBM and peak torque.

resultsLBM progressively increased from discharge (32.5±11.5kg) to 36 months following injury (40.2±12.3kg). Peak torque and peak torque/LBM increased from discharge (56.4±34.0Nm and 1.7±34.0Nmkg

conclusionIn severely burned children participating in a rehabilitative exercise program, gains in LBM over time are related to increases in muscle strength, suggesting that gained muscle mass is functional. Measurement of muscle strength at an angular velocity of 120°/s best reflects gains in LBM and should be considered for reliable measure of strength in future studies.
