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

objectiveRisk for neurocognitive deficits in sickle cell disease (SCD) is well established, yet minimal research has evaluated the risk for deficits in adaptive functioning. We assessed adaptive functioning in pediatric patients with SCD to test the hypothesis that disease, treatment, and demographic factors were associated with adaptive outcomes.

methodsTwo hundred fifty-six patients (57% HbSS/HbSß0-thalassemia and 43% HbSC/HbSß+-thalassemia), ages 8-18, received routine neuropsychological assessments as part of a larger prospective lifetime cohort study. Adaptive functioning was measured using the Behavior Assessment System for Children, Second or Third Edition. Adaptive scores were compared with normative values using t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test and linear regression models were used to measure associations between adaptive functioning and age, hydroxyurea (HU) use, sickle genotype, and socioeconomic status. Furthermore, we examined the influence of intellectual and executive functioning on adaptive behavior using hierarchical linear regression analyses.

resultsParent ratings of adaptive functioning skills did not differ from normative expectations (all false discovery rate [FDR] adjusted p-value [pFDR] > 0.05). Social vulnerability was negatively associated with adaptive scores on most adaptive scales in both genotypes (pFDR < 0.05). HU treatment was not significantly associated with any adaptive scale. Overall IQ was positively associated with Functional Communication and Leadership only for those with HbSS/HbSß0-thalassemia. Higher parent ratings of executive difficulties were correlated with lower adaptive scores (estimate = -0.64, standard error = 0.051, p < .001).

conclusionsPoorer parent-rated adaptive skills were associated with increased social vulnerability, lower Full-Scale IQ, and parent-rated executive difficulties. Most adaptive scores were in the normal range; however, parent ratings may not fully capture the impact of disease complications and neurocognitive deficits on daily functioning.
