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

Background: Physiotherapy is an essential component of paediatric burn treatment. Children are admitted to the paediatric burn unit with their caregivers who play a vital role in supporting the child's post-burn physiotherapy management. Objective: The objective of the study is to determine caregivers' attitudes on physiotherapy treatment for children with burns in the UAE. This study focused on the caregiver's perspective on five important domains: caregiver's knowledge, burden, attitude, adherence to physiotherapy exercise program, and caregiver's satisfaction. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using self-administered questionnaire. Fifty caregivers were eligible to participate in the study. The analyses of the survey responses were done using SPSS software. Descriptive analysis and correlation statistics were used to present the data. Results: The caregiver participants in the study reported to have reasonably good knowledge about the paediatric burns care (13.62 ± 3.49) and had a positive attitude towards the physiotherapy treatment provided to the children with the burn injuries (9.41 ± 1.56). The adherence to the prescribed exercise regimen of physiotherapy sessions was found to be good (11.88 ± 1.50) but were overburdened with the caregiving tasks (21.42 ± 11.62). The study demonstrated very high levels of satisfaction among the caregivers with the physiotherapy treatment sessions provided to the children (13.4 ± 1.83). Conclusion: Caregiver attitude regarding physiotherapy management was overall positive; caregivers were well aware of the importance of physiotherapy and have reported high levels of satisfaction with the paediatric burn physiotherapy management.
