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

purposePosterior fossa tumors account for half of all childhood brain tumors, prompting the search for effective and affordable interventions to combat the neurocognitive and motor sequelae of the tumor and its treatment. The main aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and effects of sensorimotor training incorporating cognitive tasks for a group of pediatric survivors of posterior fossa tumors. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 48 participants (M

resultsParticipants completed an average of six sessions, indicating a moderate adherence rate. Results showed a significant reduction in visuomotor reaction time across age and tumor subgroups in nearly all tasks, which might indicate improvement in the targeted functions, with performance characteristics varying across subgroups.

conclusionThe results suggest that training might be a feasible intervention to promote visual-motor performance in pediatric survivors of posterior fossa tumors across age and tumor type groups, however, further research should address the assessment issues and other limitations of the present study, to provide a more substantial justification for the use of this training.
