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

Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP) present with brain damage, predominantly lateralized to one hemisphere, and white matter (WM) lesions, which are known to affect visual functions. However, the relation between WM tract damage and visual outcomes remains unclear. Additionally, no prior study comprehensively investigated hemispheric-specific differences in WM visual pathways between children with left- and right-sided uCP. Therefore, this exploratory study aims to investigate differences in micro- and macrostructural properties of the visual pathways between children with left- and right-sided uCP and their relation to visual outcomes, using fixel-based analysis of diffusion MRI (dMRI). dMRI data and visual assessments, including visual acuity and stereoacuity (i.e., geniculostriate functions), motor-free visual perception, visuomotor integration, and functional vision, were analysed in 36 children with uCP (aged 7-15, 9 males, 17 left-sided, 15 preterm). Apparent fiber density (AFD), fiber-bundle cross-section (FC), and combined fiber density and cross-section (FDC) were calculated for 17 WM tracts related to visual functions. Differences between children with left- and right-sided uCP were investigated using the Mann-Whitney
