The Role of Child Neurologists in the Management of Motor Disability in Cerebral Palsy: Establishing the Path Forward.

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
backgroundCerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability of childhood, and yet the role of child neurologists and neurodevelopmentalists (CN/NDDs) in the management of children with CP is unclear. Although previous surveys showed that CN/NDDs believe they are uniquely expert in CP motor phenotyping and should be involved in CP management, others have demonstrated that training in CP management among CN/NDD residency programs is inadequate.
methodsIn this article, we surveyed a group of CN/NDDs at the Child Neurology Society Cerebral Palsy Special Interest Group meeting on January 27, 2022. Questions addressed provider comfort with CP tone management including motor phenotyping, pharmacologic and surgical management, barriers and solutions to improving practice, and the use of systems-based care.
resultsResponses from 42 participants demonstrated that CN/NDDs lack experience with CP tone management, with 48% and 58% of respondents reporting little to no experience in pharmacologic or surgical management, respectively. Primary barriers identified to improving comfort with CP tone management included lack of knowledge and ineffective treatment options, while most solutions centered on improving collaborations between CN/NDDs and other specialties. Only 50% of respondents reported currently using systems-based care in the management of patients with CP.
conclusionsAn interdisciplinary, systems-based care model would allow for collaboration and knowledge sharing between involved specialties and provide high-value goal-directed care to maximize the functional outcomes for every individual with CP.
