Slackline Training in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 18 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess whether a slackline intervention program improves postural control in children/adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).
designRandomized controlled trial.
settingPatients' association.
participantsTwenty-seven children/adolescents with spastic CP (9-16 years) were randomly assigned to a slackline intervention (
interventionThree slackline sessions per week (30 min/session) for 6 weeks.
main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was static posturography (center of pressure-CoP-parameters). The secondary outcomes were surface myoelectrical activity of the lower-limb muscles during the posturography test and jump performance (countermovement jump test and Abalakov test). Overall (RPE, >6-20 scale) rating of perceived exertion was recorded at the end of each intervention session.
resultsThe intervention was perceived as "very light" (RPE = 7.6 ± 0.6). The intervention yielded significant benefits on static posturography (a significant group by time interaction on Xspeed,
conclusionsSlackline training improved static postural control and motor skills and was perceived as non-fatiguing in children/adolescents with spastic CP.
