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
Aim: To identify healthcare concerns of adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) followed in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program and identify patient factors associated with the number of concerns raised. Method: A retrospective chart review of initial consultations of 241 people with CP (53 % male) aged 14 years or older (mean 27 y 5mo, SD 13 y 2mo), over a three-year period. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data and explore associations. Poisson's regression was used to predict healthcare concerns from patient demographic factors. Results: A total of 2237 distinct concerns were raised by the participants, with a median of 9 (range 1-34) concerns per person. Ten healthcare concern categories were reported by more than 25 % of the sample. Only age was associated with the number of healthcare concerns ( Interpretation: Adolescents and adults with CP reported a high number of healthcare concerns at the initial visit to the Transitional and Lifelong Care program and the number of concerns may increase with advancing age. The concerns identified span a variety of biopsychosocial spheres and supports the need for ongoing specialty and multidisciplinary care of this population through their adult years.
