The Impact of Whole Body Vibration on Muscle Tone, and Sensory Motor Function in Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy.
Trial report in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Purpose: Children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) have limited muscle tone, function, and sensorimotor function. Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been suggested to enhance muscle tone and function in diplegic CP. However, there were limited studies involving the effect of WBV on the tone and function of diplegic CP; we aimed to investigate the effect of WBV on muscle tone, function, and sensorimotor function in children with CP. Patients and Methods: This is a single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial involving 54 spastic diplegic CP child recruited from local rehabilitation centers in the Ha'il region of Saudi Arabia, they were randomly divided into the WBV group (n = 28 with mean age of 9.47±1.92), which received standard physical therapy and WBV therapy, and the control group (n = 26 with mean age of 9.73±1.62) they received standard physical therapy three time per week for four weeks; Muscle tone, function, strength and Sensory motor integration were evaluated pre and post interventions. Results: At baseline, the two groups had no significant differences. After treatment, the measured outcomes (function, muscle strength, and sensory motor integration) showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). However, muscle tone was not substantially improved (p = 0.10). In addition, within-group comparisons demonstrated substantial effects (p < 0.05) except Spasticity, Function, and trace assessment of the control group, where the p-values were(0.33, 0.06, and 0.54, respectively). Conclusions: According to the findings in this study, both conventional physical therapy and WBV are beneficial in treating spastic diplegia.
