Efficacy and safety of core stability training on gait of children with cerebral palsy: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06822296 (Effect of Core Stability Training on Segmental Trunk Control and Quality of Life in Children with Spastic Diplegia), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundCerebral palsy (CP) is a common disability in children featured with pathological gait and limb function limitation due to muscle weakness. Improving limb function and quality of life is currently considered to be highlighted. Physiotherapy is a chief component of rehabilitation for children with CP, correcting gait and improve walking capacity through muscle strength training. Standard rehabilitation programs for CP have not been determined. Core stability training (CST), which coordinates limb balance via trunk control, is widely used in sports competition. And it is gradually introduced into the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy with a positive impact on the patients' gait performance. By screening published literatures, this study aims to conduct a meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CST in gait of children with CP.
methodsRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) on CST in the treatment of children with CP were searched from 6 databases. Moreover, the reference lists of conference papers and included literatures will be manually searched to avoid omissions. Literature screening and data extraction were performed independently by 2 researchers. RCTs carry out the risk of bias analysis evaluation from seven aspects through the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool. Fixed or random effect model will be performed to analyze the outcomes. When higher heterogeneity occurs (I > 50%), the sensitivity or subgroup analysis will also be conducted to find potential factors. And the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach is used for assessing the quality of evidence.
resultsThe study will evaluate the effect of CST on gait of children with CP from multiple outcomes, including walking speed, endurance, stride length, and safety.
conclusionBased on evidence-based medicine, the conclusion of this study can demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of CST in gait correction for children with CP. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD 42019134094.
