Comparison of single event vs multiple event soft tissue surgeries in the lower extremities with cerebral palsy.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
unlabelledIn children with spasticity of multiple muscle groups, the need for repeat surgical interventions increases with advancing age.
aimThe present study aimed to investigate retrospectively whether there are any clinical and functional differences between single-event multilevel surgeries and multiple surgical events at a single level.
methodThe medical records of 109 patients with cerebral palsy (CP) were used. The patients, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were assigned into following 4 groups based on the surgical procedures. The Gross Motor Function measure-88 (GMFCS) and Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) were used for assessments.
resultsWhen compared to groups, there was no significant difference. This study showed that both surgical techniques resulted in improvements in GMFCS and WeeFIM levels.
