Trunk and hip muscle activity in early walkers with and without cerebral palsy--a frequency analysis.
Article in Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Poor control of postural muscles is a primary impairment in cerebral palsy (CP), yet core trunk and hip muscle activity has not been thoroughly investigated. Frequency analysis of electromyographic (EMG) signals provides insight about the intensity and pattern of muscle activation, correlates with functional measures in CP, and is sensitive to change after intervention. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in trunk and hip muscle activation frequency in children with CP compared to children with similar amounts of walking experience and typical development (TD). EMG data from 31 children (15 with CP, 16 with TD) were recorded from 16 trunk and hip muscles bilaterally. A time-frequency pattern was generated using the continuous wavelet transform and instantaneous mean frequency (IMNF) was calculated at each interval of the gait cycle. Functional principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that IMNF was significantly higher in the CP group throughout the gait cycle for all muscles. Additionally, stride-to-stride variability was higher in the CP group. This evidence demonstrated altered patterns of trunk and hip muscle activation in CP, including increased rates of motor unit firing, increased number of recruited motor units, and/or decreased synchrony of motor units. These altered muscle activation patterns likely contribute to muscle fatigue and decreased biomechanical efficiency in children with CP.
