Which gait training intervention can most effectively improve gait ability in patients with cerebral palsy? A systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: A vital objective to treat people with cerebral palsy (CP) is to increase gait velocity and improve gross motor function. This study aimed to evaluate the relative effectiveness of gait training interventions for persons with CP. Methods: Studies published up to October 26, 2022 were searched from four electronic databases [including Medline ( Results: Twenty RCTs with a total of 516 individuals with CP were included in accordance with the criteria of this study. The results of the NMA analysis indicated that both external cues treadmill training (ECTT) [mean difference (MD) = 0.10, 95% confidence interval CI (0.04, 0.17), Conclusion: This study suggested that BWSTT was optimal in increasing the gait velocity and RAGT was optimal in optimizing GMFM in persons with CP. Impacted by the limitations of the number and quality of studies, randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes, multiple centers, and high quality should be conducted to validate the above conclusion. Further studies will be required to focus on the total duration of the intervention, duration and frequency of sessions, and intensity that are optimal for the promotion of gait ability in this population.
