Effect of Universal Exercise Unit Versus Functional Electrical Stimulation on Genu Recurvatum in Diplegic Cerebral Palsy Children.
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 NCT06332729 (Effect of Universal Exercise Unit Versus Functional Electrical Stimulation On Genu Recurvatum In Diplegic Cerebral Palsy Children), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveThis study evaluated the effects of the Universal Exercise Unit (UEU) versus Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) on genu recurvatum in children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP).
methodThirty children (8 males, 22 females) aged 4-8 years with diplegic CP and genu recurvatum were randomly assigned to two groups (n=15 each). Study group I received UEU therapy and an exercise program for three weeks for 12 weeks. Study group II received FES applied to the hamstring and tibialis anterior muscles during walking, with the same exercise program and frequency. Genu recurvatum and muscle strength were assessed pre- and post-treatment using a digital goniometer and Lafayette muscle tester.
resultsBoth groups improved significantly in all variables post-treatment, with Study Group I (UEU) showing greater improvements in reducing genu recurvatum and increasing muscle strength (p<0.05).
conclusionUEU and FES were effective in treating genu recurvatum in children with diplegic CP, but UEU provided superior results. CLINICALTRIALS: gov ID: NCT06332729.
