[Mirror and action observation therapy in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy: a feasibility study].
Trial report in Revista de neurologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07763691 (Effects of Robot-Assisted Mirror Therapy on Upper Extremity Function in the Rehabilitation of Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy), which is not on this map.

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
introductionUnilateral spastic cerebral palsy affects upper extremity function. Mirror and home-based action observation therapies may be useful in its treatment. The aim has been to evaluate the feasibility of action observation therapy and mirror therapy programmes combined with home action observation in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThe feasibility study included children (6-12 years old), randomly assigned to two groups: action observation therapy and mirror therapy and action observation. Twenty-hour home sessions were conducted, including unimanual and bimanual activities. Feasibility of interventions and procedures, and spontaneous use (Assisting Hand Assessment scale) and functionality (Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test) of the upper extremity were assessed.
resultsTwenty-five families were recruited, with 17 meeting the inclusion criteria. Twelve children (8.75 ± 2.38 years) participated in the study. All families completed the interventions, with no adverse effects. The total intervention dose was above 96%. After the intervention, clinically relevant changes were found in both groups in spontaneous use of the upper extremity, as well as in functionality in the action observation therapy group.
conclusionsAction observation therapy and mirror therapy combined with action observation therapy are considered feasible to be applied at home and aimed at children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy.
