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

purposeTo investigate the participation restriction of adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, and its relation with the impairments in body structure and function, and activity limitation, as this important information regarding the individual's perspective on the social impact of the disease on their life is presently not captured.

methodsForty-three ASD patients participated in the study and completed the impact on participation and autonomy (IPA) questionnaire to assess the level of participation. Activity limitations and impairments were measured with the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) and Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22). Also, age, body height, body weight, BMI, Mini-mental state examination and Cumulative Illness Rating Scale were assessed. A univariate linear regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the IPA and the independent variables, whereas a multivariate analysis identified the significant predictive variables for the IPA questionnaire.

resultsThe univariate analysis identified performance on the BESTest and SRS-22 as significantly (p < 0.001) related to the IPA questionnaire. The multiple regression analysis revealed that the performance on BESTest (p = 0.073) and SRS-22 (p < 0.001) independently predicted the IPA questionnaire, explaining 73.5% of its variance.

conclusionTo fully understand the impact of ASD on the individual's functioning, disability and health-status, it is suggested that questionnaires on participation to society should be considered, together with clinical postural tests (e.g. the BESTest) and questionnaires related to HRQOL (e.g. the SRS-22), in the ASD care path. This additional information should allow the surgeon to make a more informed selection of surgical patients.
