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

Infants at risk for developmental delays such as Cerebral Palsy, can often be distinguished through observation of their motion and postural stability. In an effort to provide more accessible and quantitative metrics for the early detection of such impairments, this study focuses on the development of a 6-degree of freedom (DOF) robotic infant simulator. The robotic simulator provides insight into the relationship between infant motion and center of pressure (COP), a common measure that is capable of distinguishing impaired infants through quantification of postural stability. We focus on the impact of a 2 DOF motion in the trunk on COP through two experiments where we 1) Compare the impacts on COP of the limbs and the trunk, and 2) Compare the robot's COP to a real infant's. Our results indicate that motion in the trunk plays a strong part in replicating an infant's COP. Additionally, we can observe that changes in COP exhibit clear and repeatable patterns with respect to motion in each DOF. Future directions suggest a look at how different motions in the trunk affect infant COP.
