Trial report in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06673797 (Effects of Swiss Ball vs Frenkle Exercises on Static and Dynamic Balance in Ataxic Children With Cerebral Palsy), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo evaluate the effects of a core stability exercise program on balance, coordination, and severity of ataxia in children with cerebellar ataxic cerebral palsy (CP).

methodsForty children with cerebellar ataxic CP (mean age: 6.75±1.35 years) were randomly assigned to a control group and an intervention group for 2 months of follow-up. The control group received a standard physical therapy program three times weekly (1 h

resultsWe found statistically significant reductions in the severity of ataxia, as well as improved balance and coordination in both groups, with stronger effects observed in the intervention group (

conclusionThe core stability program can improve balance and coordination in children with cerebellar ataxic CP when incorporated with a standard physical therapy program.
