Utilization of Motor Imagery Training for Improvement of Balance of Ataxic Children after Medulloblastoma Resection.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05992207 (Motor Imagery Training for Improvement of Balance of Ataxic Children), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of training using motor imagery on balance, gait parameters, and ataxia severity in children after they underwent medulloblastoma tumour resection. Fifty participated children, aged seven-nine years and diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia after medulloblastoma resection were selected from the Tumor Hospital of Cairo University. Two groups of patients were randomly divided: the study group and the control group. The control group received a physical therapy program, whereas the study group received training in motor imagery along with a traditional physical therapy program. Each group was assessed using the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (PBBS), and kinematic gait analysis using the Kinovea software. Significant improvements were noted in balance, ataxia, and spatial and temporal gait parameters in both groups, which favoured the study group (P > 0.05). Training in motor imagery is an effective rehabilitation treatment for medulloblastoma resection and may be applied in combination with an appropriate physical therapy.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT05992207, 08-07-2023.
