[Effectiveness of mirror therapy and action observation therapy in infantile cerebral palsy: a systematic review].
Synthesis in Anales del sistema sanitario de Navarra, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06294444 (Effects of CIMT With and Without Mirror Therapy on Upper Limb Function in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
The aim of this review was to assess the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) and action observation therapy (AOT) on upper limb-related body structures, body functions, activity, and involvement in patients with infantile cerebral palsy (ICP). We carried out a systematic review of randomized controlled trials published over the past 10 years, in which MT or AOT was compared to other ICP-directed interventions. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and we measured their methodological quality using the PEDro scale. MT or AOT seem to significantly improve upper limb-related body structures, body function, activity, and participation in comparison to other interventions for ICP. Both seem to improve overall quality of life, reduce their disability, and promote its functioning. Further studies with higher methodological quality need to be developed to confirm the long-term effectiveness of MT and AOT.
