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

Ongoing advances and discoveries in biotechnology will require physical therapists to stay informed and contribute to their development and implementation. The extent of our profession's involvement in how physical therapists engage biotechnology is determined by us. In this Perspective article, we advocate the need for our profession to educate clinicians alongside scientists, technologists, and engineers and empower them to collectively think more as codevelopers and less as "siloed" builders and consumers of biotechnology. In particular, we highlight the value of augmenting the physical therapy curricula to provide students with new levels of knowledge about the converging fields of engineering and physical therapy. We present successful examples of how such a concept can occur within physical therapist professional education programs and propose strategies to overcome perceived challenges that may stymie this possibility.
