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

[Purpose] Hip dislocation and subluxation are common in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Hip abduction orthoses are used to prevent and treat these problems. This study investigated the effects of an underwear-type hip abduction orthosis on sitting balance and sit-to-stand (STS) activity in children with spastic CP. [Participants and Methods] This trial had a cross-over design. Eight children aged 6 to 18 years old with spastic CP and Gross Motor Function Classification level III and IV were randomly allocated to groups with or without use of the underwear-type hip orthosis. The trunk impairment scale (TIS) score was evaluated and the 5-times sit-to-stand test (FTSST) was conducted with and without the underwear. [Results] The dynamic sitting balance scores in the TIS and FTSST showed significant improvement with use of the orthotic underwear. [Conclusion] The dynamic sitting balance scores of the TIS and FTSST were higher, thus indicating better stability, when wearing the orthosis underwear. Thus, it was suggested that underwear-type hip abduction orthoses are effective for promoting sitting balance and STS activities in children with spastic CP.
