Abnormal changes of bone metabolism markers with age in children with cerebral palsy.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a broad range of diseases with permanent and nonprogressive motor impairments, carrying a high cost for both the individual and the society. The characteristics of low bone mineral density and high risk of fractures suggest that bone metabolism disorders are present in CP. This study aims to investigate the association between indicators of bone metabolism and children with CP. A total of 139 children (75 children with CP and 64 healthy controls) were included in this cross-sectional study. Participants were divided into three age groups (0-2 years, 2.1-4 years, and 4.1-7 years). All children with CP were diagnosed according to clinical criteria and furtherly divided into clinical subtypes. The levels of total procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (TPINP), N-MID osteocalcin (OC), beta-crosslaps (β-CTX), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the serum were measured with corresponding detection kits according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serum levels of TPINP and 25-OHD were lower with older age, whereas β-CTX and PTH were higher with older age. In the CP group, TPINP (age 0-2 years and 2.1-4 years) and OC (age 2.1-4 years) levels were higher, while β-CTX (age 2.1-4 years and 4.1-7 years) and PTH (age 2.1-4 years) values were lower than the control group. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of these indicators among the CP subgroups with different clinical characteristics. Our study shows that bone turnover markers, indicators of bone metabolism, in children with CP differ significantly from healthy controls. The indicators we studied changed with age, and they did not correlate with disease severity.
