Clinical utility of a patient-reported outcome for assessing spasticity in a pediatric population.
Article in Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine, 2025. 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
PurposeThis study aimed to (1) examine the construct validity of the Zorowitz spasticity patient-reported outcome (PRO) scale in pediatric populations and (2) examine the scale's responsiveness to change in children to determine its clinical utility in guiding treatment of pediatric spasticity.MethodsRetrospective analysis of data collected at a large academic pediatric hospital system, including 505 patients who received injections for spasticity from pediatric physiatrists, was performed. Zorowitz scores, spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale) scores, and Gross Motor Function Classification System levels were extracted.ResultsBaseline Zorowitz score (median 19, interquartile range 13-25) was not related to functional level (
