Comparison of Single Session Auditory Versus Visual Feedback on Performance and Postural Balance in Hemiplegic Children With Cerebral Palsy.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 a pediatric disorder characterized by a motor impairment resulting from a permanent, non-progressive lesion in the brain. Cerebral palsy is marked by movement and postural control impairments, which greatly affect body structure, function, daily activities, and participation.
objectiveTo compare the single-session auditory versus visual feedback on performance and postural balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
methodThe study was a crossover clinical trial involving a group of 25 patients diagnosed with CP hemiplegia, aged between 6 and 12 years, including both genders. Each patient underwent conventional balance therapy followed by either auditory feedback or visual feedback intervention. After a 48-hour wash-out period, they received conventional balance therapy again before undergoing the alternative intervention initially assigned. The Modified Ashworth scale (MAS), pediatric balance scale (PBS), timed one-leg stance, time up and go test (TUG), and center of pressure (CoP) displacements were assessed as the outcome measures before and after the interventions.
resultsBased on the one-leg stand test, TUG, and CoP displacement outcome measures results, both interventions improved balance time, speed of movement, and postural stability in children with hemiplegic spastic cerebral palsy (P < 0.05). Moreover, after a single session of the intervention, the visual feedback group demonstrated a significantly greater improvement in the TUG test, one-leg stand test, and CoP displacement compared to the auditory group (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe results of the study suggest that combining auditory or visual feedback with conventional balance therapy is effective in treating children with hemiplegic spastic cerebral palsy; furthermore, the utilization of visual feedback would be more effective. Further research is needed to determine the long-term effects of visual and auditory feedback on the assessed outcome measures.
