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

objectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients with developmental disabilities followed in a university clinic in Brazil.

methodsDescriptive, retrospective study, based on medical records. Children aged zero to 18 years with developmental problems, firstly evaluated between 2009 and 2018, were included. Patients with missing data or out of the age and time period established were excluded. There were nine losses and 374 patients constituted the final sample. Linear regression models were performed.

resultsThe mean age at the first assessment was 52.2±39.7 months and the age when the parents perceived the symptoms was 20.9±23.8 months. The most common impairment was motor associated with language delay (28.3%). The interval between the parents' perception and the first consultation was associated with the mothers' education and number of pregnancies. The age at first assessment was associated with the disability type. The number of pregnancies was associated with the child's age when the parents noticed the symptoms and at the first consultation.

conclusionsParents' recognition of the symptoms occurred early, however, there was a delay until the arrival at the clinic. Higher maternal education was associated with a shorter gap between perception of the developmental disability and consultation. A greater number of pregnancies was associated with a later perception of the developmental delay by the parents as well as a delay in the assessment and a wider interval between them. Motor problems were the most common in younger children, and language complaints in older ones.
