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 explore the etiological factors of intellectually disabled children in Anhui Province using a multicenter etiological study.

methodsA total of 200 children aged 0 to 14 years in Anhui Province who were diagnosed with intellectual disabilities were recruited as the study cohort. Their general information (perinatal information, parental educational levels, family environments, etc.) was collected through questionnaires, and the Gesell Developmental Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale were used to assess the intelligence development of the enrolled children.

resultsAmong the 528 children, 270 (51.14%) had severe intellectual disabilities and 258 (48.86%) had mild intellectual disabilities. It was found that various perinatal factors (premature birth, asphyxia, ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy, etc.), severe cerebral palsy, and psychosocial factors were the main etiological factors, accounting for 27.42%, 22.29%, and 17.16% respectively. There was a significant difference in the distribution of the etiologies between the rural and urban areas (P<0.01). The educational levels of most of the parents in the rural areas were lower than the parents' educational levels in the cities.

conclusionCorrelation analyses are helpful for the early diagnosis of children suspected of having intellectual disabilities and they provide a scientific basis for improving the children's quality of life and their early rehabilitation treatment.
