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.

Abstract

objectivesParticipation is a complex and context-dependent concept, which several factors can influence it. The aim of this study was assessing the relationship between the upper extremity function level of children with cerebral palsy (all type of cerebral palsy and severity) and their participation in different life areas. MATERIALS &

methodsThis cross-sectional study assessed the relationship between the level of upper extremity function of cerebral palsy children and their participation in different life areas. Participants were 274 parents of children with cerebral palsy of the schools of children with special needs and occupational therapy clinics in Tehran, Iran in 2018. They completed the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) to determine the level of upper extremity function of children with cerebral palsy and Children Participation Assessment Scale-Parent version (CPAS-P) (to determine the participation level of children with cerebral palsy) questionnaires separately.

resultsThe mean age of children was 8 yr and 8 months old (at least 6 yr and maximum 12 yr). The correlation between the level of upper extremity function and the overall score of each dimension of participation is significant (

conclusionThe upper extremity function of children with cerebral palsy has a moderate and significant relationship with the participation of children with cerebral palsy in different life areas and with different dimensions of participation especially parental satisfaction dimension. Therefore, there is a correlation between upper extremity function and participation in occupations, but this relationship is moderate and is not very strong.
