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

Background: In prior studies, there has been no report of clinical observation of postoperative reconnection of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) in children with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the factors associated with postoperative reconnection of the SCM in children with CMT, and to provide clinical evidence. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, wherein 83 CMT children without any missing data were followed up from November 2019 to June 2021. The age at the time of surgery, sex, preoperative and postoperative follow-up duration, laterality, neck mass history, preoperative physical therapy history, and severity type were recorded. The severity classification of CMT was based on clinical features and ultrasound images of SCM. The postoperative reconnection of SCM was measured. Results: Out of 83 patients, ten had postoperative reconnection. The rate of postoperative reconnection of SCM in children with CMT who had undergone unipolar SCM release surgery was 18.994 times higher than in patients who had not undergone such surgery. This difference was statistically significant [odds ratio (OR) =18.994, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.583 to 227.897, P=0.020]. Conclusions: The history of SCM release surgery in CMT children can predict the postoperative reconnection of SCM, which will aid in determining the optimal surgical approach for recurrent CMT patients.
