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

The purpose of the study was to investigate families' concerns and service requirements during the Covid-19 lockdown. In case of tele-consultation, we also aimed to assess the effects of this service on coping and the family's worries. At end of lockdown, we contacted the parents of 67 obstetric brachial plexus palsy patients (0-10 years age) by e-mail. During lockdown, 42 of the families had had a tele-consultation with our team, while 25 reported that not receiving any service. A questionnaire consisting of 6 questions was sent to the families, and data were analyzed according to 4 age-groups. Parents' concerns varied according to the children's age group (p = 0.001). All families replied that their children should receive remote services during Covid-19-like situations (p = 0.173). Parents of the 42 children who had tele-consultations reported that this had alleviated their worries, independently of age-group (p = 0.160). The usefulness of tele-consultation to manage the lockdown situation differed according to age-group (p = 0.002). The parents of under-3-year-olds experienced more worry during lockdown, but all respondents reported needing remote services. Although the tele-consultation alleviated the worries of almost all families, it was most useful in managing lockdown in families with under-3-year-olds.
