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

backgroundThis study examines the correlation, and clinical meaningfulness, between reachable workspace outcome and reported activities of daily living (ADL) function of individuals with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD).

methodsTwenty-one FSHD subjects with various disease severity (clinical severity scores 1-4) underwent reachable workspace evaluation and completed the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (NeuroQoL) upper extremity questionnaire. Spearman and receiver operator curve analyses were performed.

resultsModerate correlation was found between NeuroQoL scores and total (ρ = 0.7609; P < .01), and upper-quadrants relative surface areas (RSAs) (ρ = 0.6969; P < .01). Five specific items (ie, shirt on, shirt off, use spoon, pull on pants, pick-up clothes) demonstrated even higher correlations with total (ρ = 0.8397; P < .01) and above shoulder (ρ = 0.8082; P < .01) RSAs. A total RSA cuffoff value of 0.70 would achieve 100% sensitivity and 94% specificity (area under the curve = 0.975).

conclusionsReachable workspace values identify when individuals have difficulties performing ADLs at home. This information improves patient monitoring, and clinical decision making by enabling more timely recommendations for medications, assistive devices, or considerations for clinical trial enrollments.
