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

backgroundBottom shuffling (BS) occurs in ordinary infants without developmental disorders; however, the incidence and the related factors have been unclear. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of BS in ordinary developing infants and the potential effects of parental intervention on the BS occurrence.

methodsA questionnaire survey on BS was conducted among 241 parents of 0-year-old and 1-year-old children in nursery schools, randomly selected from urban and rural areas in three prefectures in Japan.

resultsOf the 241 infants without developmental disorders, 52 infants (21.6%) exhibited BS from 6 to 18 months of age (average: 8.3 ± 2.0 months). The ages of starting creeping, crawling, and unsupported sitting were 6.9 ± 1.8, 8.6 ± 1.8, and 7.0 ± 1.4 months of age, respectively. While the age of acquisition for creeping, crawling, or sitting did not differ due to BS, a correlation was found between BS incidence and parents' understanding of sitting development. Of the 241 parents, 110 parents responded that the timing of their infant's learning of "how to sit" should come just after their start of rolling over. In the infants with the 110 parents, a significant high frequency of the BS occurrence (27.3%, 30 out of 110) was observed.

conclusionsBS may lead to a decrease in opportunities for full-body prone activity resulting in reduced physical activity, which raises concerns about the infant's autonomy.
