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

aimTo evaluate the concurrent validity and interrater reliability of remote screening Hand Assessment for Infants (s-HAI) in infants aged 3.5 to 12 months at risk of unilateral cerebral palsy (CP), and to assess the feasibility of parents administering and recording the s-HAI play session using a smartphone app.

methodIn this observational study, 30 infants (10 females) at risk of unilateral CP were assessed with remote s-HAI, administered by their parents, and compared with the HAI conducted in a clinical setting. The quality of the s-HAI recordings was assessed and parents' experiences were collected using a questionnaire. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r

resultsParents recorded the s-HAI play session with good quality and found it feasible. A strong correlation of r

interpretationThe s-HAI measures the same construct as the six-item HAI, demonstrating reliable scoring between raters when administered remotely by parents, making the s-HAI a viable tool for the early identification of infants at risk of unilateral CP.
