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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesCerebral palsy (CP) affects a substantial number of children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Bangladesh. Maternal health literacy is critical to the health and well-being of children with CP, particularly in low-resource settings. In this study, we sought to assess how the mPower (mother's power) community-based intervention impacted mothers' CP-specific knowledge, as well as their utilization of rehabilitation services in rural Bangladesh.

methodsThis quasi-experimental study was conducted with a group of mothers of children with CP, formed through the ongoing initiatives of the Bangladesh CP Register in rural Bangladesh. A pre-post-intervention comparison method was used to assess the outcomes of the intervention.

resultsMothers who participated in over two-thirds of the mPower sessions demonstrated a significant increase in CP-related knowledge (75.5% vs. 63.6%,

conclusionsThe mPower intervention successfully improved health literacy and likely increased rehabilitation service utilization among mothers of children with CP in rural Bangladesh.
