The Effects of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Functions of Cerebral Palsy Children.
Review in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectivesConstraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is an intervention method that can enhance cerebral palsy (CP) children's hand function. CP is a pervasive and common disorder which affects many aspects of a child life. Hemiplegic CP affects one side of a child's hand and has great effect on child's independence. We investigated the CIMT's studies conducted in Iran, and indicated the effectiveness of CIMT on duration and children age? MATERIALS &
methodsThis systematic review was conducted using the electronic databases such as Medline PubMed, CINAHL, etc. performed from 1990 to 2016. Iranian and foreigner famous journals in the fields of pediatrics such as Iranian Journal of Pediatrics (IJP), Iranian Rehabilitation Journal (IRJ) and Google scholar with some specific keywords such as CP, CIMT, and occupational therapy were searched.
resultsOverall, 43 articles were found, from which, 28 articles were removed because of lack of relevancy. Ten article were omitted because of duplication and exclusion criteria, so finally 15 articles were included.
conclusionCIMT is effective compared to no intervention but there are some inconsistencies regarding some parts of CIMT effectiveness such as its effectiveness on muscle tone and protective extension.
