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

introductionSickle cell disease (SCD) affects 1 in every 350 newborns in the United States. Children with SCD are at risk for impaired postural control. The purpose of this study was to explore if children with SCD have impaired postural control as compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

methodsTwenty-eight children between the ages of 6 and 17 years were recruited for the study including children with SCD and age- and sex-matched controls. Posturography measures included Limits of Stability (LOS) and Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance (mCTSIB) testing and balance was measured using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, 2nd Edition (BOT-2).

resultsThere were no between-group differences in posturography measures. Children with SCD had significantly poorer BOT-2 balance performance as compared to age- and sex-matched controls (

conclusionThis sample of children with SCD does not demonstrate impairments in posturography as measured by limits of stability and sensory integration despite having significantly impaired balance compared to peers. Additional research is necessary to determine why children with SCD demonstrate gross balance impairments without concurrent impairments in postural control.
