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

Background: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have sequelae related to their heart defect that can affect their lifelong health. Physical literacy development is one way to improve their health because it provides them the competence and confidence to engage in physical activity; however, it may be impaired in children with CHD. Therefore, we sought to determine the effect of a 6-month chronic disease management program on physical literacy development of children with CHD. Methods: Thirteen children with CHD participated in the program and were age and sex matched to 12 typically developing peers (TDPs) who served as the control population. All participants had their motor competence (PLAYfun), confidence (PLAYself), and parental perception of the child's physical literacy (PLAYparent) measured before and after the program. A 2 × 2 between-within factorial multivariate analysis of covariance measured the effectiveness of the program while controlling for age, sex, height, weight, maturity, and self-reported physical activity. Results: The 6-month program significantly improved the skip, gallop, and locomotor motor competence in children with CHD ( Conclusions: Children with CHD had impaired motor competence at baseline, and although the program did result in an improvement in the locomotor domain, it was not able to mitigate all differences in physical literacy.
