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

[Purpose] When using chopsticks with a standard grip, the lower chopstick is held firmly; the upper chopstick dominates the motion between open and closed postures. This study's primary aim was to evaluate the stability of the lower chopstick when maneuvering with the dominant hand. The secondary goal was to test whether using chopsticks with the non-dominant hand improves the stability of the lower chopstick. [Participants and Methods] The study included 34 healthy adults as participants. Motion capture was used to assess the stability of a lower chopstick held with the dominant hand and explore the effect of training on lower chopstick stability with the non-dominant hand. [Results] Prior to non-dominant hand chopstick training, the stability of the lower chopstick was significantly greater when held with the dominant hand than when held with the non-dominant hand. However, after 10 days of non-dominant hand chopstick training, the stability of the lower chopstick held with the non-dominant hand improved significantly. [Conclusion] This study's findings provide important insights into the effectiveness of non-dominant hand training in patients who need to use their non-dominant hands.
