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

backgroundHow the natural deterioration of aging, sex difference, and pathological effect of stroke affect the prediction of hand strength is still unknown.

aimThis study aimed to compare and predict grip strength in both hands between normal controls (NCs) and stroke patients.

designObservational, cross-sectional study.

settingTwo urban hospitals and the community. POPULATION: A total of 160 participants aged from 40 to 80 (80 NCs and stroke patients) were recruited.

methodsThe Jamar

resultsThe linear regression models of the grip strength in both right and left hands were good fits (the adjusted R

conclusionsThe pathological, sex, and age effects play complementary roles in predicting the grip strength in middle-aged and older adults between NCs and stroke patients. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In clinical practice, the recovery of the grip strength in stroke patients should take pathological, sex, and age effects together with the right dominant or left non-dominant hand affected into consideration, rather than merely comparing the differences in the grip strength of both right and left hands as a reference.
