Effects of Task-oriented Activities Based on Neurodevelopmental Therapy Principles on Trunk Control, Balance, and Gross Motor Function in Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Single-blinded Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of pediatric neurosciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 4 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purposeTo examine the effects of task-oriented activities based on neurodevelopmental therapy (TOA-NDT) principles on trunk control, balance, and gross motor function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (SDCP). MATERIALS AND
methodsForty-four children with SDCP, aged 7-15 years, were recruited to participate in the randomized clinical trial. After random allocation, twenty-two (
resultsThe mean difference of GMFM-88, PAS, PBS, and TIS was 8.53 (5.84-11.23), 0.90 (5.84-11.23), 4.86 (2.93-6.79), and 1.45 (0.30-2.60), respectively. TOA-NDT group showed improvement in all the outcomes.
conclusionTOA-NDT principles are more beneficial in improving the trunk control, balance, and gross motor function parameters than CPT.
