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

purposeTo investigate the responsiveness of the patient-reported outcome measure pediatric physical therapy (PROM-ppt), a questionnaire used to also stimulate shared decision making in Dutch pediatric physical therapy practices.

methodsChildren completed the PROM-ppt at intake and 3 months after intervention or post-intervention. Reported problems were categorized as motor or pain related goals for intervention. Responsiveness was examined to test the a priori hypotheses and area under the curve (AUC). The Global Perceived Effect scale was used for comparison.

resultsOverall, the hypotheses were confirmed in 60% of the cases with adequate AUCs. In children with motor problems, 80% of the hypotheses were matched, with adequate AUCs. In children with pain related problems, 40% of the hypotheses were matched, with inadequate AUCs.

conclusionThe PROM-ppt had moderate responsiveness in the pediatric population, good responsiveness in children with interventions for motor problems, and poor responsiveness to pain related problems.
