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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of the Mini-Mental State Pediatric Examinations (MMSPE) in the individuation of neuropsychological impairments.

methodMMSPE was administered to 60 children attending a primary or lower secondary school suffering from neurological diseases, admitted to our neuropsychology services. All children performed both a MMSPE examination and a neuropsychological evaluation. Results of neuropsychological evaluation and MMSPE were dichotomized. Positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy were also calculated.

resultsThe diagnostic performance of MMSPE showed a good overall accuracy (0.83, CI 95% 0.64-0.91), NPV (0.81, CI 95% 0.73-1.00), PPV (0.87, CI 95% 0.68-0.94), specificity (0.91, CI 95% 0.81-1.00), sensitivity (0.74, CI 95% 0.57-0.90), and odds ratio of 28.5 (CI 95% 6.6-123), p < 0.001.

conclusionsMMSPE has a good prognostic ability in predicting neuropsychological problems in the context of different neurological pediatric diseases. We suggest that this instrument could greatly improve pediatric clinical practice in identifying high-risk children.
