Pediatric Patients With Hemiplegia: A Systematic Review of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hemiplegia is the medical term for paralysis of one side of the body. It results in muscular wasting on the affected side, impairs gait, reduces motor abilities, and causes instability and a loss of grasping capacity. The patient's quality of life is impacted by hemiplegia because it impairs brain and spinal cord functions. Consequently, a range of therapeutic options, including physical therapy, medical health management, and other multidisciplinary care, are accessible. The effects of treatments on juvenile patients with hemiplegia who are participating in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) are examined in this systematic review. Using the Boolean operator "AND," the research process entailed searching for keywords like "Hemiplegia" and "Pediatrics." Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of six RCTs were included in the study. According to the study's findings, hemiplegic patients benefited from Kinesio taping (KT), botulinum toxin type-A (BoNT-A), hyaluronic acid injections, and bimanual treatment.
