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: Cerebral palsy (CP) has a serious impact on children's multiple motor functions and life behavior. Rehabilitation therapy or pharmacotherapy alone has been proven to have a good effect on patients' strength and gait. However, the efficacy of rehabilitation combined with pharmacotherapy for CP in children needs to be further explored. This study is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of this combined method on life function and social behavior in children with CP. Methods: PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were searched for all kinds of literature related to the treatment of pediatric CP published between 2000 and 2021. Basic information and experimental data from the literature were screened and extracted, and a meta-analysis was performed using Stata 16. Results: A total of 605 studies were retrieved, and finally, 10 studies involving 805 pediatric patients were included in the analysis. The analysis results showed that rehabilitation combined with pharmacotherapy could improve the treatment effective rate in children with CP compared with the control group using either alone (RR = 1.184, 95% CI (1.102, 1.273), Conclusion: The current study shows that rehabilitation combined with pharmacotherapy can effectively improve the recovery, quality of life, and social behavior of children with CP.
