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

objectiveThe study purpose was twofold: (1) to develop the Children's Amputee Mobility Predictor and establish its content and social validity and (2) to determine its intra and inter-rater reliability.

settingPediatric rehabilitation hospital.

participants

interventionNot applicable. MAIN MEASURE: The functional capability of 30 children with leg length discrepancy was evaluated using the Children's Amputee Mobility Predictor. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, two-way mixed model, and absolute agreement for a single measure were used to establish intra and inter-rater reliability.

resultsExperts reached a consensus on the relevancy and clarity of all 26 tasks included in the Children's Amputee Mobility Predictor. The intra- and inter-rater reliability were excellent, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC)

conclusionsThe Children's Amputee Mobility Predictor is a comprehensive outcome measure that requires minimal equipment or space. It appears stable over time when used by the same physical therapist and results suggest that it may be used by multiple physical therapists. The Children's Amputee Mobility Predictor appears to measure important and relevant aspects of functional capability and be a meaningful and relevant assessment tool, helping to guide the determination of medical necessity for specific prosthetic and physical therapy interventions.
