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

PurposeThis study aimed to translate the English version of the Mini-Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (Mini-EDACS) into Dutch and assess its psychometric properties and applicability among preschool-aged children with cerebral palsy (CP) in the Netherlands.MethodsForty-eight children with CP (18-36 months) were included. Inter-rater reliability of the Dutch version of the Mini-EDACS was assessed between two speech and language therapists (SLTs) and between two SLTs and parents. Construct validity was established by hypothesis testing regarding the expected strength of the correlation between Mini-EDACS level and sum score of (a) the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PEDI-EAT-10) and (b) the Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS).ResultsThe level of agreement for Mini-EDACS level was almost perfect between SLTs (weighted kappa (k
