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

objectiveTo compare the number of review papers published in rehabilitation journals during recent years with the number published a decade ago.

methodsPubMed search for review papers published in 7 major rehabilitation journals in 20052007 and 2015-2017.

resultsOf the 940 review papers identified, 659 were published in 2015-2017, and 281 in 2005-2007. Two journals: Disability and Rehabilitation and Archives of PM&R published over half of all the reviews. Over the last decade, the design of reviews has changed substantially, with an increase in the number of meta-analyses (from 2.5% in 2005 to 44% in 2017) and in the number of reviews conducted solely on randomized controlled studies (from 6% in 2005 to 32% in 2017).

conclusionPRM training schemes must adjust to the change in published research to enable understanding and interpretation of the results and conclusions of systematic reviews and quantitative analyses.
