Postural Abnormalities in Children with Congenital Zika Syndrome-Related Neurological and Visual Impairment.
Article in Viruses, 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
Deformities, body asymmetries, and muscle contractures are common consequences of atypical postural patterns in children with c ongenital Zika syndrome (CZS). This study aimed to evaluate the posture of children with CZS, considering their neurological and visual impairments. Ophthalmological assessment included binocular best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Teller Acuity Cards II (TAC II) and an ocular motility evaluation. Postural alignment was measured using the PhysioCode Posture (PCP) app. Twenty-four children with CZS (12 [50.0%] female) were included, with a mean age of 6.8 ± 0.7 years (range, 4.0-7.0 years). The majority (79.2% [19/24]) had microcephaly at birth. Visual impairment was detected in 95.2% (20/21) of the children, with 85.0% (17/20) classified as moderate, severe, or blind. Shoulder asymmetry was observed in 95.8% (23/24) of participants, and 75.0% (18/24) presented abnormal postural alignment of the head and hips. Additionally, spinal deviations were found in 41.7% (10/24) of the children. All children with CZS exhibited asymmetries and improper postural patterns, which may result from a combination of neurological and visual impairments as well as environmental factors.
