1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) is commonly used for neurological conditions, but its effectiveness in enhancing functional mobility and morphology in children with spastic diplegia remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of PMS with physical therapy (PT) versus PT alone on mobility and morphology in spastic diplegia. Forty-five children with spastic diplegia (mean age 12.7 ± 3.8 years) were randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups: PMS + PT, PT, or control, with fifteen children in each group. The training was conducted thrice weekly for eight weeks, included muscle morphology assessments, the 30 s sit-to-stand test (30sSTS), functional reach test (FRT), 10 m walk test (10MWT), and 6 min walk test (6MWT). The study revealed increased left quadricep and calf muscle thickness following PMS + PT (d = 0.19, 0.39, respectively; all
