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
Background: Mini-Manual Ability Classification System (Mini-MACS) was developed for children with cerebral palsy aged 1-4 years, but its validity and reliability in different cultures are unavailable yet. This study was to determine the reliability and validity of Mini-MACS in East Asian children with cerebral palsy and investigate the correlation between Mini-MACS and Gross Motor Function Classification System. Methods: One hundred and four East Asian children with cerebral palsy aged 12-48 months were classified by one of their parents, an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist with Mini-MACS. The results were analyzed for inter-rater reliability by using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The Nine-hole Peg Test was used for the criterion-related validity analysis, and parents retested their children after 2 weeks to evaluate test-retest reliability. Gross Motor Function Classification System levels were also collected to investigate the correlation with Mini-MACS. Results: Good inter-rater reliability among the occupational therapist, physical therapist, and parents was found [ICC = 0.984 (95% confidence interval, CI, 0.976-0.989), 0.973 (95% CI 0.960-0.982), and 0.966 (95% CI 0.950-0.977), respectively; Conclusion: The Mini-MACS demonstrates evidence that it is a valid and reliable tool to classify manual ability in East Asian children with cerebral palsy and is also positively related to the Gross Motor Function Classification System.
