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

backgroundThe gross motor function measurement is considered as the gold standard for the motor assessment of children with cerebral palsy. The aim was to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and investigate psychometric properties.

methodsA total of 150 children with cerebral palsy aged 2-16 (mean 8.82 ± 3.78 years; 54.7% male) included. The Gross Motor Function Measurement was adapted into Turkish. Two physiotherapies independently administered the gross motor function measurement. Internal consistency and intra/inter-rater reliability were assessed using Cronbach's alpha, intraclass-correlation-coefficient. Standard-error-of-measurement, minimal-detectible-change calculated. The Bland-Altman method was applied to estimate the measurement bias in reliability analysis. Construct validity assessed with Spearman's correlation coefficient between the gross motor function measurement and the gross motor function classification system, pediatric-evaluation-of-disability-inventory-mobility; confirmatory-factor-analysis was carried.

resultsInternal-consistency (α: 0.997-1.00); reliability indices were excellent for total scale (intraclass-correlation-coefficient for intra-rater reliability 0.994-0.999, inter-rater reliability 0.997-0.999) and for each sub-dimension and total score. Standard-error-of-measurement was ranging 1.044-1.677, minimal-detectible-change was 2.435-5.520. Construct validity was supported by strong to excellent negative significant correlations (
