The Reliability and Validity of Data Obtained With the Functional Gait Assessment Modified for Children.
Article in Pediatric physical therapy : the official publication of the Section on Pediatrics of the American Physical Therapy Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
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
purposeThis study investigated the Functional Gait Assessment modified for Children (FGA-mC) in children with cochlear implant and with and without vestibular loss (VL), and the FGA-mC's reliability and validity.
methodsFifty-nine children completed the FGA-mC and vestibular and functional testing. Twenty children were video-recorded to assess the FGA-mC's inter- and intra-rater reliability, and 10 repeated the FGA-mC for test-retest reliability. Ten physical therapists reviewed the videos, scored the child's FGA-mC performance, and provided test administration feedback.
resultsChildren without VL had significantly higher FGA-mC scores compared to children with bilateral VL and a <26 cutoff score was identified for normal function versus VL with good discrimination, sensitivity and specificity. The FGA-mC had good inter- and intra-rater reliability, construct validity, but poor test-retest reliability.
conclusionsThe FGA-mC shows decreased performance in children with bilateral VL compared to children without VL. There was overall good-to-excellent reliability and validity of the FGA-mC, supporting its use for a pediatric population.
