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
Background: There have been no reports of children with cerebral palsy (CP) developing anorexia nervosa (AN). This report presents a 13-year-old girl with CP who was hospitalized in a state of severe underweight and impaired consciousness, and was subsequently diagnosed and treated for AN. Case Presentation: The patient is a 13-year-old girl diagnosed with CP, who relied on a wheelchair for mobility. Her weight consistently remained at -2 standard deviations. She began restricting her food intake after comparing her body to her sister's and receiving comments from caregivers about her weight. Consequently, her body mass index dropped to 8.2, and when admitted, she showed impaired consciousness. After intensive care treatment, she was hospitalized in the psychiatric ward for about 6 months before discharge. Despite extensive rehabilitation, her physical abilities at discharge did not return to preillness levels. Conclusion: This case indicates that diagnosing and assessing AN in children with CP can be particularly challenging. Children with CP who develop AN are prone to rapid progression to severe physical conditions; therefore, early consultation with a specialist is strongly recommended.
