Young Children Benefit from Intensive, Group-Based Pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThis quasi-experimental study examined the effectiveness of an intensive, group-based pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy (pCIMT) program for young children.
methodsThirty-five children aged 21 months to 6 years, with unilateral hemiparesis (HP), or weakness on one side of the body from varying etiologies, participated in a 4-week intensive, interprofessional, theme- and group-based pCIMT clinic program in the Midwest, United States. The program ran for 4 weeks with 3 h of therapy per day, 5 days per week with 3 weeks of 24 h casting for the unaffected arm, followed by 1 week of bimanual focus. Outcome measures included the Quality Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST), Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI).
resultsThe participants statistically significantly improved the unilateral function of the HP arm in four of five QUEST variables (
conclusionsThis study revealed the intensive, group-based pCIMT clinic model was effective and feasible to implement with the support from various stakeholders.
