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

This study aimed to determine the reliability and concurrent validity of a low-cost pressure mapping system (Smart mat) and reference standard pressure mapping (MatScan). Thirty healthy volunteers aged 29.57 ± 4.50 years who could sit still for at least one minute and had a hip width of less than 40 cm (36 ± 2.05 cm) were recruited. The participants sat on the Smart mat system and MatScan for 60 s per trial for 3 trials. The reliability of Smart mat using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) showed an excellent ICC of normalised total force (nTF) and normalised ischial width (nIW) in sitting (0.93, 0.98). The validity was assessed using Spearman correlation coefficients, which showed that nTF in sitting had a significantly strong correlation (r = 0.70
