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 examine the functioning profile of people with neurological disorders who access rehabilitation services through ClinFIT Generic-30.

methodsThe functioning profile of people with neurological disorders accessing rehabilitation services was examined using the ClinFIT Generic-30, and the results compared with existing core set (neurological health conditions acute and post-acute,stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury,Spinal Cord Injury).

resultsData for 364 people were analysed. The 10 most commonly impaired ICF categories included 3 for Body Functions (exercise tolerance functions (b455), mobility of joint functions (b710), and muscle power functions (b730)) and 7 for Activities and Participation (carrying out daily routine (d230), handling stress and other psychological demands (d240), changing basic body position (d410), maintaining a body position (d415), transferring oneself (d420), walking (d450), and moving around (d455)), while the ICF categories that were severely impaired (ICF qualifiers 3 and 4) in more than 30% of the study cohort were: muscle power functions (b730), carrying out daily routine (d230), walking (d450), moving around (d455), doing housework (d640), and assisting others (d660). DISCUSSION: The current study data suggests that  ClinFIT Generic-30 appears to effectively identify impairments and/or restrictions, as perceived by individuals affected by selected health conditions.

conclusionClinFIT Generic-30 is a tool that can be used to characterize functioning profile in people with different neurological disorders and to collect important information not addressed by the disease-specific core sets (neurological health conditions acute and post-acute,stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury,Spinal Cord Injury).
