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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study examined sensory-motor integration training effects on activities of daily living (ADLs) in children with Erb's palsy.

methodsA randomized controlled trial enrolled 32 children aged 2-6 years with Narakas Type I Erb's palsy. This assessor-blinded study randomly allocated participants using sequentially numbered, sealed opaque envelopes to control group (60 minutes of an upper-limb rehabilitation program) or study group (45 minutes of the same upper-limb rehabilitation program plus 15 minutes of sensory-motor integration training; total 60 minutes/session). Interventions were delivered three times weekly for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) Simulated Feeding subtest; secondary outcomes included other JTHFT subtests and grip strength, measured at baseline and week 12.

resultsBoth groups showed significant within-group improvements in grip strength (p < 0.001). Post-intervention, the study group demonstrated significantly greater grip strength versus control (5.42 ± 0.81 vs. 3.36 ± 0.46), with a between-group difference of 2.06 units (95% CI: 1.58-2.54) and very large effect size (Cohen's d = 3.13; p < 0.001). The study group showed greater improvement in feeding performance (Δ = 13.93 s; 60% improvement) than control (Δ = 11.27 s; 51% improvement).

conclusionCombined with an upper limb rehabilitation program, sensory-motor integration training significantly improves functional abilities and daily living skills in children with Erb's palsy. CLINICALTRIALS: gov ID: NCT06324643.
