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

Reaching is a fundamental motor skill essential for daily living, with over 50% of daily activities involving reaching movements. Understanding the development of postural adjustments made during reaching in early childhood is crucial for motor development. This study investigated the developmental characteristics of postural adjustments made by children aged 3-6 years during reaching tasks. A total of 135 typically developing children from Chinese kindergartens participated in this study. Kinematic and electromyographic (EMG) data were collected using an infrared motion capture system and surface electromyography, respectively. A two-way ANCOVA was performed to examine the effects of age and gender on kinematic and electromyographic parameters. Post hoc analyses revealed that completion time and shoulder angle showed a linear decreasing trend (
