Stability of the Communication Function Classification System among Children with Cerebral Palsy in South Korea.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
Interest in the prognosis of skill levels has been an important issue among children with cerebral palsy (CP). This study aimed to verify the stability of the Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) in 2- to 18-year-old children with CP. Data collected from 171 children with CP who received rehabilitation therapy in hospitals or attended special elementary schools in South Korea were reviewed. They were divided into two groups, children <4 years and children ≥4 years. Participants were evaluated over 1-year and 2-year intervals from the first rating. Agreement between the three measurements and the weighted kappa were analyzed. At the 1-year interval, results demonstrated a high agreement rate of the CFCS in children ≥4 years old, and during the 2-year interval the study revealed a low agreement rate in children aged 2-4 years. The results indicated the stability of the CFCS in children ≥4 years old but some change of the CFCS in 2- to 4-year-old children. Moreover, the findings suggested that the change of the CFCS varied with time and age. Based on these results, it is recommended that the CFCS assessments be performed periodically, especially among 2- to 4-year-old children with CP.
