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.

Abstract

introductionResearch using animal models suggests that intensive motor skill training in infants under 2 years old with cerebral palsy (CP) may significantly reduce, or even prevent, maladaptive neuroplastic changes following brain injury. However, the effects of such interventions to tentatively prevent secondary neurological damages have never been assessed in infants with CP. This study aims to determine the effect of the baby Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (baby HABIT-ILE) in infants with unilateral CP, compared with a control intervention. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This randomised controlled trial will include 48 infants with unilateral CP aged (corrected if preterm) 6-18 months at the first assessment. They will be paired by age and by aetiology of the CP, and randomised into two groups (immediate and delayed). Assessments will be performed at baseline and at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after baseline. The immediate group will receive 50 hours of baby HABIT-ILE intervention over 2 weeks, between first and second assessment, while the delayed group will continue their usual activities. This last group will receive baby HABIT-ILE intervention after the 3-month assessment. Primary outcome will be the Mini-Assisting Hand Assessment. Secondary outcomes will include behavioural assessments for gross and fine motricity, visual-cognitive-language abilities as well as MRI and kinematics measures. Moreover, parents will determine and score child-relevant goals and fill out questionnaires of participation, daily activities and mobility. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Full ethical approval has been obtained by the TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04698395. Registered on the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) on 2 December 2020 and NIH Clinical Trials Registry on 6 January 2021. URL of trial registry record: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04698395?term=bleyenheuft&draw=1&rank=7.
