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

We aim to present a standard protocol for training able-bodied individuals to use a body-powered bypass prosthesis and assess training length and impact of prepositioning. The protocol design and subsequent analysis aims to facilitate controlled and efficient implementation of the able-bodied bypass user in the research setting. Six volunteers completed ten two-hour sessions with a body-powered bypass prosthesis. Each session included standardized training tasks: object manipulation, free training, and activities of daily living. Two outcome measures, a modified Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure and the Box and Blocks Test were used to score performance during each session. A standard learning curve was fitted to the scores to determine an optimal training length based on learning rate and learning plateau values; further tested through an effect size calculation. To assess prepositioning, scores were normalized and grouped by a measure of terminal device rotations. Scores then underwent a linear regression analysis. Optimal training lengths were found to be three and six sessions for modified Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure and Box and Blocks Test results respectively, with support from effect size calculations. Prepositioning and normalized score were weakly correlated, +0.38, and poorly fit,
