Dystonia in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy and isolated periventricular leukomalacia.
Article in Developmental medicine and child neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
aimTo determine the prevalence of dystonia in individuals with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and spastic cerebral palsy (CP), but without basal ganglia and thalamic injury (BGTI) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
methodThis was a retrospective study of individuals with spastic CP and PVL on MRI evaluated between 2005 and 2018 in a CP center. Individuals with non-PVL brain lesions on MRI, including BGTI, were excluded. Dystonia was assessed via blinded review of neurological exam videos by pediatric movement disorders specialists.
resultsEighty-five participants (45 males, 40 females; mean age at videotaping 12 years [standard deviation 5 years 6 months], range 4-26 years) met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these participants, 50 (59%) displayed dystonia in their exam videos. The most common locations of dystonia were the fingers and hip adductors. The prevalence of dystonia was unaffected by the gestational age or severity of PVL, and was affected by Gross Motor Function Classification System level.
interpretationDystonia is common in individuals with spastic CP and PVL, even without BGTI on MRI. Our findings suggest vigilance for dystonia in individuals with spastic CP should remain high, even without MRI evidence of BGTI. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Individuals with spastic cerebral palsy and isolated periventricular leukomalacia on magnetic resonance imaging commonly display dystonia. Common sites of dystonia are in the fingers and hip adductors.
