Evaluation of Knee Position Sense in Children with Motor Disabilities and Children with Typical Development: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIn children with motor disabilities, knee position during walking is often of concern in rehabilitation. This study aimed to investigate knee joint position sense. Thirty-seven children with Cerebral Palsy (CP), 21 with Myelomeningocele (MMC), 19 with Arthrogryposis (AMC), and 42 TD children participated in the study. Knee joint position sense, i.e., the difference between the criterion angle and the reproduced angle (JPS-error), was assessed in sitting while 3D motion capture was recorded at flexed knee 70 (Knee70), 45 (Knee45), and 20 (Knee20) degrees, and after three seconds at maintained criterion angle (CAM) and maintained reproduced angle (RAM). No differences were found between the groups in JPS-error, CAM, and RAM. At Knee70, CAM differed between the right and left legs in the TD group (
