1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 the core neurodevelopmental disorder affecting movement. Several distinct movement disorders can occur in people with cerebral palsy. Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes non-velocity-dependent hypertonia and/or abnormal, often repetitive, twisting movements, and/or postures. Dystonia occurs more frequently in patients with CP than has been recognized previously, and is treated differently than other aspects of CP. Dystonia is an important cause of chronic pain, hospitalization, and musculoskeletal complications. We describe recent advances in dystonia diagnosis in patients with cerebral palsy and highlight focus areas for ongoing research and clinical care. IMPACT: Dystonia is a movement disorder that is more common in people with cerebral palsy (CP) than previously thought. Dystonia contributes to hospitalization, chronic pain, and complications in CP patients. People with dystonic CP require different tools to diagnose and treat their condition. We summarize current state of the art in dystonia in CP and identify areas of focus for future work.
