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

Cerebral palsy is a syndrome that encompasses a large group of childhood movement and posture disorders that result from a lesion occurring in the developing brain. The clinical presentation of many metabolic and genetic conditions, particularly in highly consanguineous populations, can mimic cerebral palsy particularly at early age. The aim of this review article is to identify the clinical features that should alert the physician to the possibility of disorders that resemble cerebral palsy, the clinical and neuroimaging red flags, and highlight some metabolic and genetic conditions which may present with spasticity, ataxia and dyskinesia. In the case of metabolic or genetic disorder, making a precise diagnosis is particularly important for the possibility of treatment, accurate prognosis and genetic counseling.
