Efficacy of Task-Oriented Circuit Training on Gait Kinematics, Pelvic Symmetry and Trunk Endurance in Children with Hemiplegia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04761263 (Effect of Task-oriented Circuit Training on Gait Kinematics, Pelvic Symmetry and Endurance in Children With Hemiplegia), which is not on this map.

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
objectivesChildren with hemiplegia often experience motor problems that primarily affect one side of their body. They frequently struggle with asymmetrical gait patterns, pelvic imbalance affecting stability, and reduced trunk muscle endurance, all of which impact their overall mobility and coordination. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of task-oriented circuit training program in improving kinematic gait parameters, pelvic symmetry, and trunk endurance in children with hemiplegia.
methodsA total of forty children diagnosed with hemiplegia between the ages of 7 and 10 years were randomized into both control and study groups. The control group was given a specially designed physiotherapy program, while the study group was given the identical program applied to the control group, combined with a 12-week task-oriented circuit training intervention. Gait kinematics were assessed using two-dimensional motion analysis, pelvic symmetry was evaluated through a palpation meter inclinometer, and trunk endurance was measured using four validated tests.
resultsA significant improvement was observed in both groups in all outcome measures post-treatment when compared to the baseline mean values in favor to the study group (p<0.05).
conclusionsTask-oriented circuit training in conjunction with a designed physiotherapy program is more effective in improving gait kinematics, pelvic symmetry, and endurance of trunk muscles among children with hemiplegia. CLINICALTRIALS: gov ID: NCT04761263.
