(2) The paper does not define how raw caregiver labels map to "primary caregiver", nor how the raw "Particularities" defect site is grouped; the mappings used were inferred as the only ones that reproduce the Table 1 counts. (3) The secondary age-dependent analyses (age-group t-test and multivariable regression) reproduce the paper only after excluding one 40-year-old patient, an exclusion the paper does not report; the primary run uses all rows and the exclusion is reported as a separately labelled sensitivity run. (4) Because R's t.test defaults to Welch while the paper does not state which variant was used, both Student (equal variances) and Welch t-tests are reported for the age-group comparison. https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/noma-physio-mouth-opening-reproduction-study https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasDiscipline http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2725393 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/noma-physio-mouth-opening-reproduction-study https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasMethodologyDescription Computational reproduction on the authors' own published patient-level data (S1 Data, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgph.0001995.s001, 91 rows). No analysis code was published, so the analysis was reconstructed from the paper's methods description in Python (pandas, scipy, statsmodels) and orchestrated with Snakemake as jupytext notebooks: download and checksum S1 Data; tidy it without dropping rows or repairing values (missing values kept; each analysis uses complete cases and reports its n); then re-run every reported test. Headline: paired t-test of discharge versus admission mouth opening. Secondary: independent two-sample t-test of change by age group (0-3 vs >3 years); bivariate one-way ANOVA for categorical factors and simple linear regression for continuous factors; multivariable linear regression of change on number of physiotherapy sessions and age group; proportions below 20 mm at admission and discharge. Each reproduced statistic is compared against the paper's reported value at the paper's precision. Code and results are archived at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23281226. https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/noma-physio-mouth-opening-reproduction-study https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasScopeDescription The headline claim of Oluwalomola et al. (2023): among the 91 noma patients (WHO stages 3 and 4) who received physiotherapy during initial hospitalization at Noma Children Hospital, Sokoto, mouth opening at discharge was greater than at admission. In scope is the within-patient admission-to-discharge comparison of mouth opening (mean difference, its confidence interval and significance) and the proportions of patients below 20 mm opening at admission and discharge. The paper's secondary analyses (age-group comparison, bivariate and multivariable predictors of change) were also re-run and are reported as context, but are not part of the claim tested. Out of scope: whether physiotherapy causes the change (the study has no comparison group) and generalisation beyond this cohort. https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/noma-physio-mouth-opening-reproduction-study https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/targetsClaim https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RALXE56xitCdQ_bT0aSPq0X2uP_QUsx-HJvmKhvaF7-38 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/provenance https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0927-0907 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/pubinfo https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0927-0907 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name Luna Fazio https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI http://purl.org/dc/terms/created 2026-10-13T20:20:01.484Z https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0927-0907 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI http://purl.org/dc/terms/license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI http://purl.org/nanopub/x/introduces https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI/noma-physio-mouth-opening-reproduction-study https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI http://purl.org/nanopub/x/wasCreatedAt https://platform.sciencelive4all.org https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAlyjiQ0FSPJwAMty0erXAgYCmWUly6H-boVl4uBXSATI http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Computational reproduction of Oluwalomola et al.
