5-year fracture risk among children with cerebral palsy.
Article in Pediatric research, 2023. 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
backgroundEpidemiologic evidence documenting fracture risk as children with cerebral palsy (CP) age throughout growth is lacking to inform on when to implement fracture prevention strategies. The objective was to characterize the 5-year risk of fractures by each year of age among <1-13 year olds with CP and effects by patient-level factors.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study used commercial administrative claims from 01/01/2001 to 12/31/2018 from children <1-13 years old with ≥5 years of insurance enrollment. Fractures were examined during the 5-year follow-up. For the CP cohort, the association between 5-year fracture rate and patient-level factors was assessed using Cox regression.
resultsChildren with (n = 5559) vs. without (n = 2.3 million) CP had a higher 5-year fracture risk at the vertebral column, hip, and lower extremities at almost each year of age, but lower 5-year fracture risk at the upper extremities after 6 years old (all P < 0.05). Among children with CP, the 5-year fracture rate was elevated for co-occurring neurological conditions and non-ambulatory status at the vertebral column, hip, and lower extremities (hazard ratio [HR] range, 1.44-2.39), and higher for males at the upper extremities (HR = 1.29) (all P < 0.05).
conclusionsThis study provides novel epidemiologic evidence of 5-year fracture risk for each year of age for children with CP. IMPACT: This study provides novel epidemiologic evidence of 5-year fracture risk for each year of age across important developmental stages for children with vs. without cerebral palsy (CP). Children with vs. without CP were more likely to fracture at the vertebral column, hip, lower extremities, and humerus and less likely to fracture at the forearm and hands. The age-related 5-year fracture risk was associated with clinically relevant patient-level factors, but in different ways by fracture region. Study findings may be used to enhance clinical detection of at-risk children and strategize when to implement fracture prevention efforts for children with CP.
