Observational study in International orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03440658 (Deficits of Strength of the Rotator Muscles of the Shoulder in Children With Sequelae of Obstetric Brachial Palsy.), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.

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.

Abstract

purposeThe relationship between functional shoulder deficits in children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shoulder abnormalities was evaluated.

methodsShoulder function was assessed in 16 children (mean age: 5.8 years; range: 3-12 years) with NBPP based on shoulder rotator muscle strength, as measured using an isokinetic dynamometer and the modified Mallet score. The thickness and fatty infiltration of the subscapularis and infraspinatus muscles, and the morphology of the glenoid on MRI, were also determined.

resultsThe highest subscapularis fatty infiltration subgroup of NBPP patients promoted the highest alteration muscle thickness and modified Mallet score.

conclusionsIn NBPP children, subscapularis impairments play a major role in the functional limitations. This study of pediatric NBPP patients highlighted the value of adding an examination of the muscles to routine MRI assessment of bone parameters in the shoulders of NBPP children.
