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

objectiveTo investigate sensory impairments in children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) and the relationship with motor function.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional, analytical study of medical records of children with CZS who were assisted by a support center for children with microcephaly in northeastern Brazil. General data about the children and their caregivers were recorded. Data from the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) score and Gross Motor Function Classification System classification were recorded for motor function assessment, and the Sensory Profile 2 score was recorded for sensory function.

resultsA total of 32 children with a mean age of 53.4±10.8 months participated in the study. The GMFM-88 score was positively correlated with the total score of the Sensory Profile 2 (r=0.49, p=0.004) and with the scores for tactile (r=0.44, p=0.011), vestibular (r=0.41, p=0.019), and proprioceptive (r=0.35, p=0.045) systems. When adjusted for age, only children under 50 months old (n=16) presented these correlations (tactile: r=0.69, p=0.003, vestibular: r=0.74, p=0.001, and proprioceptive: r=0.63, p=0.009).

conclusionsThe tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems were correlated with the gross motor function in children under 50 months old with CZS. These findings suggest the clinical relevance of considering both sensory and motor domains in the evaluation and care of children with CZS, supporting the need for early and integrated sensory-motor interventions.
