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

We herein report a 16-year-old boy who presented with limb-kinetic apraxia, which was presumed to be an impairment of sensorimotor integration due to brain damage localized to the central region after head trauma. The patient's basic sensory and motor functions were also preserved. However, deficits were noted in two-point discrimination (a higher-order sensory function), material identification, and three-dimensional geometric figure identification: sensorimotor tests that include active touch (a function of sensorimotor integration). The present case suggests that a thorough neurological examination from the perspective of sensorimotor integration is important to understand the pathology of limb-kinetic apraxia.
