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

Objective: To examine the functional outcomes of a group of infants, children, and adolescents admitted to acute inpatient rehabilitation for neurologic impairments caused by a new childhood stroke. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional cohort study. Setting: A pediatric inpatient rehabilitation program in a stand-alone inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located within an academic medical center. Participants: A total of 91 patients (N=91) aged 6 months to 17.8 years were admitted to a pediatric inpatient rehabilitation program with a new diagnosis of childhood stroke. Interventions: Standard of care pediatric inpatient rehabilitation treatment. Main Outcome Measures: Change in the functional independence measure in children (WeeFIM) score across inpatient rehabilitation treatment. Results: The 51 boys/39 girls/and 1 transgender patient were 9.6±5.7 years old with ischemic stroke (n=53) or hemorrhagic stroke (n=38). At admission, they had moderate-to-severe functional impairments (WeeFIM total score=46.5±25.5 points). Inpatient rehabilitation length of stay was 33.7±28.5 (range, 3-134) days. WeeFIM total score improved to 71.2±31.6 points at IRF discharge. Hemorrhagic (compared with ischemic) stroke was associated with higher rates of craniectomy (X Conclusions: Pediatric inpatient rehabilitation results in functional improvements for new neurologic impairments caused by childhood stroke.
