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

Objective: Previous studies have indicated that visual-motor performance is affected by cultural variations. This study aimed to examine differences between the proportion of children with poor visual-motor integration (VMI) performance in published population norms with that in the sample population of this study and to assess the predictive value of the visual perception(VP) and motor coordination(MC) scores in explaining VMI variance in Chinese preschoolers. Methods: A random sample of 421 children ageds 3.0-6.11 years (mean age, 4.51 ± 0.93) participated in this study. The Beery VMI, VP, and MC were administered in sequence by qualified raters. Results: The standard scores of VMI in all age groups of this study were significantly better than those in U.S. norms. Overall, 61 (14.5% of the total sample) and 6 (1.4% of the total sample) children did poorly in the VMI test using study population norms and published population norms, respectively. The proportion of children with poor VMI performance using published norms was significantly lower compared with that using study sample population norms ( Conclusion: Our findings support that the effects of culture should be considered when interpreting the results of Beery VMI using published norms, especially in poor performance diagnosis. Our findings further support that three tests should be assessed individually during the visual perception examination regardless of cultural context. Chinese preschooler-based norms need to be established in future investigations to determine the diagnostic value of the Beery VMI.
