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
Significance: Abnormal gait of children with cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by brain damage or developmental defects, exploring the brain's functional characteristics and regulatory mechanisms is essential for rehabilitation. Aim: We aim to study the brain function characteristics in children with CP during walking. Approach: The cortical activation, functional connectivity, information flow, and dynamic state transitions of 17 children with CP and 13 healthy children (HC) were analyzed in the resting and walking states. Results: The motor cortex (MC) of HC is significantly activated in the walking state, whereas both the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and MC of children with CP are significantly activated. The resting brain functional connectivity of children with CP decreased and showed higher global efficiency and modularity and lower clustering coefficients and local efficiency. During walking, the brain network of children with CP was difficult to maintain a stable global high-connectivity state so the local high-connectivity state became the main connectivity state. For children with CP, more brain resources were allocated to the non-dominant MC during walking, whereas more brain resources were allocated to the dominant MC in HC. Conclusions: These indicators reflect the characteristics of brain activation, network connectivity, and information regulation in children with CP, which provide the theoretical basis for targeted rehabilitation treatment.
