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

BackgroundAbobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A) is approved worldwide in indications related to excessive muscle activity, including focal upper and lower limb spasticity.ObjectiveWe evaluated real-world outcomes associated with on-label use of aboBoNT-A for adult focal spasticity in UK routine clinical practice.MethodsThis was a multicenter, retrospective, 52-week study analyzing data from patients who had received ≥1 injection of aboBoNT-A in line with the Summary of Product Characteristics. Primary endpoints were the average aboBoNT-A dose received per treatment cycle and average interval between cycles.ResultsFor the 108 patients included, the median (Q1, Q3) age was 52.5 (41.0, 69.0) years and the most common underlying neurological condition was stroke (61.1%). The mean (SD) total dose of aboBoNT-A received was 540.8 (268.5) U (cycle 1), 586.1 (279.4) U (cycle 2), 558.0 (258.5) U (cycle 3), and 464.3 (209.6) U (cycle 4). The mean (SD) interval between cycles was 153.8 (56.9) days. Of 82 goals assessed, 71 (86.6%) were achieved. Seven patients (5.8%) in the safety population (
