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

objectiveThe aims of this study were to explore (i) the joint hypermobility, proprioception, and developmental functioning in toddlers born preterm, (ii) differences in the proprioception and developmental functioning between toddlers with and without joint hypermobility, and (iii) the relationship between them. MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred twelve toddlers born preterm between 24 and 42 months of age were included in this observational study. Beighton Score for joint hypermobility assess- ment and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) for developmental functioning were applied in all toddlers born preterm; however, propriocep- tion assessment could be applied on 55 of 112 (49.11%) toddlers born preterm due to lack of cooperation.

resultsOf 112 toddlers, 30 (26.79%) had joint hypermobility. There were no differences in coop- eration rate (P = .629) and success rate (P = .887) in the proprioception assessment between toddlers with and without joint hypermobility (55 toddlers born preterm), which is similar to the cognitive domain (P = .430), language domain (P = .062), and motor domain (P = .619) in the Bayley-III. Additionally, none of them were related to each other (P > .05).

conclusionOur study findings showed that joint hypermobility has no effect on propriocep- tion and motor development in toddlers born preterm between 24 and 42 months of age, and there is no relationship between them. The possibility of these results might be that movement repetition and not only proprioception but also other sensory systems could be important in this early period of life.
