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: The present study evaluated the reliability and validity of the Streamlined Wolf Motor Function Test for Chronic Stroke (SWMFT-C), a shortened and redesigned version of the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) to determine upper extremity (UE) motor abilities. Methods: Twenty individuals with chronic stroke were included in a cross-sectional study design. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) were used to assess impaired motor recovery of the UE in these patients. The SWMFT-C's test-retest (two weeks) reliability and inter-rater reliability (three physical therapists) were examined using the intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) ICC Results: The SWMFT-C performance time(s) demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability (ICC Conclusion: The SWMFT-C is a valid, reliable clinical instrument for the population with chronic stroke.
