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

purposeWe examined the association of activities of daily living (ADL) and cognitive function with the upper extremity muscle thickness and upper extremity range of motion (ROM) and spasticity in children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP).

methodsThe subjects were 20 children and adults with CP. The ADL performed using the upper extremities and cognitive function were assessed using the self-care domain of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) and the full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, fourth edition (WISC-IV), respectively. The WISC-IV was assessed in only seven of 20 subjects able to undergo evaluation. The thickness of the upper extremity muscles was measured using an ultrasound imaging device. Moreover, ROM and spasticity of the upper extremities were assessed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Manual manipulation ability was also assessed using the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS).

resultsStepwise regression analysis revealed that the extensor digitorum muscle thickness and MACS level were significant and independent factors of self-care in the PEDI. Partial correlation analysis with MACS level and age as control variables showed that the FSIQ of the WISC-IV was significantly associated with the thickness of the anterior fibers of the deltoid and flexor digitorum superficialis muscles.

conclusionReduced ADL performed using the upper extremities is associated with decreased extensor digitorum muscle thickness rather than ROM and spasticity of the upper extremities in children and adults with CP.
