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

backgroundCommunication impairments are a common challenge for children with non-progressive motor disorders and their parents.

objectiveTo assess the effects of parent-mediated communication interventions for improving the communication skills of preschool children with non-progressive motor disorders.

methodsTo summarize a rehabilitation-relevant Cochrane Review conducted by Pennington et al.

resultsTwo studies were identified, involving 38 children and their mothers. These studies provided very low quality evidence that parent-mediated communication might improve parental responsiveness to their children's communication efforts, but no evidence it influence the children's communication or participation. Small samples sizes, low study numbers, and lack of reporting on some outcomes limited the conclusion that could be drawn from this review.

conclusionsHigh quality adequately powered trials of parent-mediate communication interventions for children with communication impairments arising from non-progressive motor disorders should be encouraged.
