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

The IndieTrainer system, consisting of a mobility device and video-based gamified training modules, was developed to assist children in attaining power wheelchair (PWC) skills. The purposes of this small-scale trial were to explore the use of the IndieTrainer system to provide PWC skills training and document parental satisfaction with the IndieTrainer system. We hypothesized that PWC skills training provided using the IndieTrainer system would result in improvements in both children's understanding of how to use a PWC and their PWC skill execution, and that parental satisfaction would be high. An open-label, single-arm trial was conduct as follows: (a) Baseline testing (T0); (b) A 3-week intervention consisting of two, 60-min-PWC skills training sessions per week; (c) Post-intervention testing (T1); and (d) A single session retention trial held 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (T2). Outcome measures included the Assessment of Learning Powered mobility use (ALP), Wheelchair Skills Checklist (WSC), Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8). 25 child/parent dyads participated. Between T0 and T1, statistically significant differences (
