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

objectiveAccording to the World Health Organization, estimates about 1,800,000 people lived with disability in Tehran. Against there is little evidence of physical access to rehabilitation facilities in Tehran. This study is aimed to assess the physical access to physical rehabilitation facilities in Tehran and compare it with the country.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted since January to April 2017. We used a master facilities list of rehabilitation facility that developed in Iran to collect the information. The samples of this study included all existing physical rehabilitation centers in Tehran province. Data analysis was done using the SPSSr version 21.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).

resultsThe results showed that rehabilitation facilities existed at different levels, including inpatient (10.51), outpatient (224.28), community based (36.72), and long-term care (4.96)/1,000,000 populations. Rehabilitation services are provided by rehabilitation professional including: Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists (8.7), physiotherapists (132.89), occupational therapists (57.4), speech therapists (42.11), and audiologists (48.84) (in 1,000,000 populations).

conclusionTehran needs to increase the physical access to rehabilitation facilities and compared with country was disproportionate physical access to facilities in most cases. It is necessary to establish an interdisciplinary referral system between different rehabilitation providers.
